#### **Welcome to Year 5!**

We hope you had a lovely Summer break.  This term we are learning about North America!  We will be learning about different things and answering our killer question which is 'Where would I like to visit if I went to North America?

#### **Our learning will include:**

Is North America a country or continent?

Where would you expect the hottest and coldest parts of North America to be and why?

Why is the USA so influential?

Why were the National Parks of the USA needed?

How would a holiday in New York City compare to Yellowstone National Park?

How is Hawaii similar to Alaska?

Which state would you rather live in and why? California,Kansas or Florida?

Can you research these questions and see what you can find out?

#### Our weekly Timetable:

Monday - Reading Diary checks

Tuesday - Remember PE Kits

Wednesday - Deadline for homework online.

Friday - Spelling test and new homework uploaded onto Office 365.

**Please remind your children to bring in their Reading books and Reading diaries to school everyday!**
