Your child will also be given many opportunities throughout the week to read a variety of texts and will then undertake an online quiz to assess their understanding of the text.

Spring 1 Learning in 5C
Ancient Greece
Our theme work for this half term will be all about life in Ancient Greece! We will explore this through a range of exciting activities throughout the science, history, geography, and DT.
Design and Technology – We will be carrying out market research on existing products in order to develop and evaluate a new product of our own.
History--We will be studying artefacts and archeological sites to discover what life was like in the time of the Ancient Greek civilization.
Geography- We will be naming and locating UK towns and cities as well as focusing on human and physical features in these areas as well as modern day and ancient Greece.
Science - We will be exploring Forces including gravity, air resistance, water resistance and friction and recognising that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
PSHE- Media Literacy and Digital Resilience – Here we will learn about online content, gauging its reliability, recognising suspicious content and strategies to remain safe online. Money and Work – Here children will be learning about gaining financial literacy and spending and saving wisely.
