SPaG: Use modal verbs to indicate degrees of possibility. Use devices to build cohesion within a paragraph. Choose the appropriate register. Enhance meaning through selecting appropriate grammar and vocabulary. Use brackets, dashes, or commas to indicate parenthesis. Use relative clauses beginning with who, which, where, when, whose, that or an omitted relative pronoun. Use adverbs to indicate degrees of possibility. Use a wider range of devices to build cohesion across paragraphs Link ideas using tense choices.

History: During the Summer term, Year 5 will be learning about Anglo Saxons We will be using atlases, pictures and the internet to establish routes taken by the invaders and discuss the issues they faced showing an understanding of causes and consequences of the end of the Roman occupation in Britain. We will begin to understand the role of an archaeologist to piece together information and create a picture of the past. We will establish the reasons behind the invasion and describe the main changes in this period of history.

DT: Control, monitoring and programming. Design a virtual sculpture of a settlement using Minecraft (creative mode) or similar.

Art: Use observational skills and a range of artistic techniques to draw houses and artefacts.

Mathematics:
Unit 12: Decimals

• Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents
• Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places
• Solve problems involving number up to three decimal places

Unit 13: Geometry- properties of shapes

• Know angles are measured in degrees: estimate and compare acute, obtuse and reflex angles
• Draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (°)
• Identify missing angles
• Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles4 Angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360°)
• Angles at a point on a straight line and 1/2 a turn (total 180°)

Unit 14: Geometry- properties of shapes 2

• Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations
• Draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (°)
• Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles
• Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles

Unit 15: Geometry- Position and Direction 

• Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed

Unit 16: Measurement: converting units

• Convert between different units of metric measure (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre)
• Understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints
• Solve problems involving converting between units of time
• Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure [for example, length, mass, volume, money] using decimal notation, including scaling

Unit 17: Measurement: volume and capacity

• Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm³ blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]
