YEAR 5 CURRICULUM
Spring 1 - Movement and Motion
We will be looking in depth at the book ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’ by Brian Selznick. We will start by building up our ‘background knowledge’ of the text by working in research teams to find out more about the themes of the book and look at how the author has used pictures to tell parts of the story alongside the narrative. Our fictional writing will focus on using description to tell a reader more about a story, develop tension through our use of adverbs and adjectives and convey character through ‘show, don’t tell’. We will celebrate our learning by visiting the Duke of York’s Cinema to enjoy a private screening of ‘Hugo’.
Our science topic of Forces will be linked to our DT topic of Moving Vehicles. We will explore friction, gravity and the opposing forces involving push and pull.
