Do you have what it takes to find out if there really is life on Mars? Are you intrigued to know what causes day and night on Earth? Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered why the Moon changes its shape? Well then, our Spring 1 topic - *Is there life on Mars? -* is perfect for you! You will be finding out the answers to these questions and many more as the term progresses. What's more, we will be linking our topic to Christopher Edge's sensational book, *The Jamie Drake Equation,* in English so there's no doubt that we will be getting writing of the highest quality once again. Homework this half term is in the form of a project - please find attached the homework details and timeframe. Please also find attached the Year 5 Spring Term Curriculum Newsletter which contains details of the lessons and routines to expect this term. The sky - or should we say the stars - are the limit in Year 5 so let's make the Spring Term our best yet!
