Year 5 Curriculum
This term our curriculum is connected to ‘Our World’ through our history and geography. We will study the Ancient Greek civilisation learning about the birth of democracy, exploring myths, understanding the importance of their religion and many other aspects of daily life. Our class reader will be our springboard for our creative writing.
Our RE lessons will focus on making sense of life’s experiences, considering questions such as: how does daily life affect who we are and in what ways do beliefs affect our daily lives? Our mission statement, ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’ alongside our core school values of ‘Faith, Hope and Love’ will run throughout our learning as we consider what diversity, equality and inclusion looks like for us in year 5.
Our geography focus will be a locational study of Europe including environmental regions, key physical and human features as well as cities and countries.
In science we will study Earth and Space and Unbalanced Forces, through enquiry based lessons that require the children to pattern seek, research, classify and group, make observations and carry out fair testing.
In PE/Games we will focus on health & fitness, gymnastics and creating and closing spaces in Netball. In Art we have a drawing unit looking at depth, emotion and movement and in DT we look at nutrition: developing a healthy salad recipe.
We have Bikeability sessions in early Autumn - allowing for children to progress their cycling skills and then to access the Level 1 / 2 course where the instructors teach road cycling in our local area.
You can support your child by researching together aspects of Ancient Greece, including: collecting images and information, listening to age appropriate podcasts and doing further reading on this ancient civilisation. Throughout the term we will be encouraging opportunities for oracy and drama as we seek to bring the curriculum alive for the children.
We are looking forward to a wonderful term of learning and fun!
