Y5 Curriculum
Welcome to Y5’s class pages!
Summer term:
Our Year 5 team are so excited to start the term and start off from where we left after a brilliant Spring term! Our Year 5 teachers are: Mr Hawkins and Mr Smith in Y5 Elder and Mr Wilson in Y5 Redwood. Our learning support staff are Miss Newbound, Mrs Lendrum and Mrs Jones. Wiggins, the school dog, also makes a frequent visit as she belongs to Mr Smith!
Year 5 will be learning about the Vikings in History. We are picking up from where we left off with the Anglo-Saxons and how they managed to settle in Britain and convert it to Christianity. We will deep dive into how the Vikings quickly raided and then settled, dividing Britain in the process. Our book, Beowulf, is an epic tale traditionally told by the Anglo-Saxons in the form of poetry. The story will enable us to write in fiction and produce various types of texts including a balanced argument. In our non-intensive teaching, we will revisit previously taught learning on art, history, music, RE and DT. We will be sending home knowledge organisers for each subject, which can be used at home. If you would like to see what other subjects we will be covering, or look back at the year, please visit our curriculum pages.
PE this term is still on a Monday and Friday afternoons and both are outdoor. Monday is Rounders and Friday is Sports Day preparation.
