Spring Term 1:
Off with her head!
Spring Term 2:
Time Traveller
Tick, tock, tick, tock…the hands on the clock never stop. From the moment w are born, from toddler to teen, middle age to elderly, time stops for no man.
Find out what happens to our bodies and brains as we grow older, and how we cope with these changes.
How long does a human baby take to grow inside the womb? Does it take longer than an elephant calf? Or a kitten?
Take a good look at yourself…how has your face changed since you were a baby and how will it change as you grow older? Can you photograph it, change it, age it?
And what would happen if the clock struck 13? In ‘Tom’s Midnight Garden’, he travels to the past. What an adventure! Imagine you could time travel too: where would you go and what would you like to see? Will you head back to your past or into your future? You decide!
Tick, tock, tick, tock … the hands on the clock never stop!
Physical Education
Year 5 P.E. lessons will take place on TUESDAY.
They must wear a full Malvern Primary School P.E uniform. This includes:
- White T-shirt (plain white or white with Malvern badge)
- Green shorts Black / grey pumps
If the weather permits, children may bring an outdoor P.E. kit into school along with their normal P.E kit. This includes:
- White T-shirt (plain white or white with Malvern badge)
- Tracksuit pants
- Jumper or jacket
- Trainers
Children should have their P.E kit in school everyday.
Reading and Homework
Children should read four times a week and record this independently in their school planner. This should then be signed off by an adult. This can be any book/magazine they wish that is of the correct standard. Some children may have books suggested to them by their teacher to make sure they are of the correct level.
Children should have access to their planners in school every day. It is the children’s responsibility to make sure their planner goes home at the end of each day to record their reading / homework, and comes back into school the next day. If they forget their planners, their reading should be recorded on a piece of paper and brought into school.
Children will be given a spelling list to complete each week. These will be sent home every Friday to be returned (and tested) the following Wednesday and should be used as an opportunity to learn spellings rather than just copy them out! Other homework tasks will be sent home by the class teacher as and when required.
