Welcome to Year 5!
Does Nature Decide Who Survives?
Hi Year 5!
Summer term, what an exciting and fun final term - we have lots to look forward to!
This term, we will be learning all about evolution and inheritance. We will start the term studying Charles Darwin and his trip to the Galapagos on the HMS Beagle. We will focus on looking at ways species have adapted to their environments to survive, as well as ways in which we need to keep ourselves safe.
On Wednesday 04th May, we will be visiting Warning Zone in Leicester! This is an activity centre whereby we can learn about potential dangers in a real life setting and how we can keep ourselves safe. Furthermore, we will also be participating in a substance misuse workshop to learn about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
I have included an overview of this term's teaching below, detailing what we will be covering in each subject as well as the key vocabulary we will be using this term. Spellings for this term have also been uploaded below. Spelling tests will continue to be held on a Friday each week, focusing on our Read Write Inc. spelling patterns.
Please continue to check our class page regularly to see what we have been learning about each week.

Self-Isolation Planning
Below is a weeks worth of planning should your child be isolating due to a positive Covid-19 result. We will aim to call at least once, but if you need to speak further please email through to the office: enquires@harlaxton.lincs.sch.uk and I will call at my earliest convenience.
If your child is unwell, please do not feel pressured to complete all of the learning.
Take care,

Is a disaster always a disaster?
Year 5 have been working incredibly hard over the last few weeks to produce this term's outcome - a news broadcast - documenting the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii.
They have produced a running order, assigned roles, written scripts with stage directions, designed their costumes, made props and recorded, produced and edited their own iMovies.
Please take some time to watch their hard work via the school video page.

Leader in Me
On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too.
- Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
- Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
- Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
- Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
- Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
- Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
- Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)
Growth Mindset
This year we will be helping the children to develop a Growth Mindset. This aims to increase their resilience, perseverance and independence in their learning. Further information can be found by following the link below.
