Welcome to the Year 5 Newsletter
Dear Parents,
We trust you all had a lovely mid-term break and enjoyed welcoming in the year of the Rooster! We have had a busy two weeks since we returned and the children have been working very hard on all their various projects. They have been presenting their ''Mylandia'' civilisations to their classes with great success, as well as performing in the year 5 Chinese Assembly, sports day as well as all the many other activities in class!

Unit of Inquiry
Next week we will be starting our new unit of inquiry: How We Express Ourselves.
Central idea: People can create or manipulate messages to target specific audiences.
Lines of inquiry:
How images, text and music are used to influence behaviour of target audiences (function)
Critical evaluation of messages presented in the media (reflection/perspective)
How people respond to messages (perspective/reflection)
In support of the learning, we are kindly requesting the help of any parents or guardians who are advertising or marketing professionals and would be interested in presenting to the Year 5 children at some point in the coming weeks.
Typically, this could be a 30 minute talk based on the principles of marketing and/or an insight into your profession. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested please contact your child's class teacher directly.
Thank you for your continued support.
Persuasive writing
For this unit we will be looking at the different components and features of persuasive writing with the children including: fact and opinion, emotive language and rhetorical questions.
Film Making and Producing
Mr Tibble will be teaching lessons on Film for this next unit. Each week the children will focus on a different aspect of film making from producing to directing and editing their own creation.
