A Cultural Feast - Topic Information:
This half term pupils’ new geography based topic is ‘A Cultural Feast’ where pupils will learn about the geography, customs and cultures of countries in The Americas. They will study the human and physical geography of regions in North and South America and compare this to the physical and human geographical characteristics of the UK. Pupils will locate the world’s countries, using maps, atlases and digital technology and learn about The Americas through a cross curricular approach.
What is it like in Singapore Class?
Please take a look inside the classroom and look at where your children will be learning.
HOMEWORK:
Homework has now been moved to the class Google Classroom page. Details of how your child can access Google Classroom have been sent home but if for any reason your child needs their login details please let me know and I will get this organised.
I can be emailed at: year5@ferringceschool.co.uk
Home Reading Resources:
All pupils have a Reading Diary to record their home reading each week. We would like pupils to read daily and record at least 5 home reads in their diary, recording the date read, title of the book and the author, the number of pages along with comments from an adult who has heard them read. There may not always be comments but we would like to hear how your child is getting on with their reading skills and if there are any tricky words they come across. Pupils can also give the book a star rating and comment on their reading too.
Below are also some reading activities they can choose to complete linked to the book/s they are reading.

In the Autumn term pupils took part in a project called 'Here We Are' centering around the book 'Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth' by Oliver Jeffers. The aim of the project was to help reunite everyone around one powerful text and one message, easing pupils back into school life with creative literacy learning along with a cross-curricular approach.
Below is some of the work pupils have produced linked to the project. I am impressed with how engaged they have been in their learning to produce this work. Well done Singapore Class!
