Every day a learning adventure
Welcome to Year 5! We are all looking forward to a year when we will be working hard, celebrating our achievements and making sure the children are ready at the end of the year for Year 6.
The Year 5 team are really looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year and we know you will have a fantastic year with us. We have many interesting learning journeys to take which have been carefully crafted to ensure you will have a year of high-quality learning. We are excited to begin the next chapter of our Opening Worlds learning in History, Geography and RE.
Our History will start with some learning about the Ancient Romans. They will learn about daily life and the legacies left behind by the Romans. Later in the year the children will link their learning of the Romans to Christianity and how that affected other empires. The year finishes with learning about Cordoba the City of Light!
Our RE starts with Christianity in Term 1 with the family of Jesus. As we progress through the year, we will be delving deeper into the story of Jesus: his birth, life and teachings, death and resurrection. Finally, we finish the year with a focus on the Muslim celebration of Ramadan.
Our Geography will start in Term 1 building on the children's knowledge of rivers and seas. This terms focus is the Rhine and Mediterranean. It will then take us on a journey covering population, coasts, tourism, earthquakes and finishing off with deserts.
In Science, we will be starting a new curriculum in year 5. This year we will cover plants, rocks, light, animals (including humans) and forces & magnets. This new curriculum has been designed by experts and will build on children's prior knowledge with some fantastic investigations along the way!
In Science, we will start the year learning about forces focusing on gravity, air resistance and water resistance. We will progress our learning onto Space in Term 2 followed by Properties and Changes of Materials in Terms 3 and 4. Living things and their habitats will be the focus of learning in Term 5 and, finally, Term 6 will focus on animals including humans.

It's going to be a very busy year and the Year 5 team are excited to welcome you and your families to Year 5.
