Year 5 Home Learning

This week in Cornwall 5

Week beginning 20th April 2026

Dear parents and carers,

Welcome to Term 5! Although this term is only 5 weeks long, it's going to be a busy time for all the children.

This week in English, the children were introduced to our class text: The Adventures of Odysseus. This ties in perfectly to our History topic: Ancient Greece. So far, the children have discussed their opinions and predictions about the storyline and possible characters that might appear. They also planned and wrote a non-chronological report about Gods and Goddesses.

In Maths, we have started our new topic on Statistics. The children have been looking at line graphs and reading timetables as well as interpreting two-way tables. This will continue next week.

In History we will be starting our new topic on Ancient Greece. The focus this week will be on timelines and where the Ancient Greeks fit in with the rest of the world. The children will be sorting dates and making sure that they understand key terms such as; BCE, BC, era, period.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Nash, Mrs McGinley and Mrs Walker.
