Where do our clothes come from?
Hello! Welcome to Year 5's page on our School website. On this page, you will be able to find all of the learning that is currently taking place in our class this half term.
Literacy
Fiction & Non-fiction unit - Narrative Poetry - The Jabberwocky (Weeks 1-7).
This half term, we are going to be reading and responding to the poem, 'The Jabberwocky' written by Lewis Carroll. We are going to be exploring unfamiliar vocabulary, exploring how the word classes contribute to the meaning of the words and we will be considering the themes within the poem and how this forms a story. The children will be analysing the poem thoroughly, writing letters from character's perspectives and rehearsing the poem orally with actions. The outcome of the unit is for the children to create their own 'Jabberwocky' style character, innovating the poem and writing their own narrative poem based on an imaginary creature - the children will change their narrative poem into a story. We will finsh our English unit looking at 'The Return of the Jabberwock'. Within this unit, the children will be writing a range of fiction and non-fiction pieces.
