Term 5

Hello and Welcome to Year 5 Term 5

We hope you all had an amazing Easter break and are ready to start the new term!

The children will be returning to the realms of art and forest school this term. Below is some information on what they will be covering in art. English is based around the Boy in the Tower ( please see the book warmer attached). Maths will be linking percentages to our learning of fractions. Further information on the topics that we will be covering can be found in the termly overview below.

Don't forget : Renew your stationery (see the list below)

Art

This term, the children will continue to develop their drawing skills by exploring form. We will look at artists/sculptors such as Anthony Gormley and Henry Moore, and how they portray form in their drawings. The children will explore a range of mark-making, taking inspiration from artists’ work, with the opportunity to experiment with a variety of materials. This term's unit will give children the opportunity to explore how we can convey 3-dimensional form through drawing. The children will collate their drawings into a backwards sketchbook to allow them to see their progression and amend their mark making accordingly.
