Year 5
Spring 2 Home Learning
Hello parents!
This half term we are learning all about Anglo Saxons. We will begin to understand who the Anglo Saxons were and link this to our learning on Romans in Year 4.
English
We are looking at some very exciting texts in English, such as ‘Beowulf’, which will enable us to gain a further understanding of the life of an Anglo-Saxon character. We will also explore ‘Macbeth’, which will deepen our historical understanding as it highlights events of Anglo-Saxon culture.
Some resources you could use to learn more are:
Maths
In Maths, we are recapping our knowledge of fractions. We need to remember how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions and vice versa. We will then be beginning to learn how to multiply unit fractions and non-unit fractions by integers.
Art
In Art, we are going to create some Anglo-Saxon shields and brooches. We are going to be researching and sketching their designs, then making and evaluating. This will supplement our History knowledge as we will understand more about Anglo Saxon culture and art.
