This term, the children will be immersed in the British and American protest history. They will learn about the Suffrage movement of the early 20th century, as well as the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th century and how both of these movements have had an everlasting impact on the world we live in today. The children will also have the opportunity to consider and discuss how these movements echo in today’s society and how the themes of these social histories can be seen in modern day protest movements.
Year 5 at Dunholme is full of fun and excitement! Take a look...

YEAR 5 RECOMMENDED READING LIST
Spelling
Spellings will be given on the Friday of each week and will be tested on the following Friday.
Alongside this, we will also be focusing on our statutory spelling list for Years 5 and 6 this year, so each child will be given 20 spellings from this list per term and 5 extra from the Year 3/4 list and will then be tested at the end of that term. Please ensure that the weekly spelling rule, the 6 weekly spellings and the 25 termly spellings are being practised regularly.
It is also important that children know the meaning of the words they are learning to spell... as we might ask you to put one into a sentence!
