We’re excited to welcome Year 5 back for a term packed with engaging and enriching learning experiences.
In English, we’ll be reading The Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom by Louis Sachar – a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of identity, friendship, and self-worth. Through this text, pupils will develop their reading comprehension, inference, and creative writing skills.
In Maths, our focus will be on building a solid understanding of Place Value, followed by mastering Addition and Subtraction strategies. These are essential building blocks for future learning.
Our wider curriculum is just as exciting. In our Unit of Learning, we’ll step back in time to explore Ancient Greece, uncovering fascinating myths, historical achievements, and the origins of democracy. In RE, we’ll ask the big question: What do miracles tell us about Jesus?, encouraging thoughtful reflection and discussion.
In Computing, children will develop essential digital literacy skills as part of our CLC programme. PE lessons will focus on Multi-sports, helping children improve teamwork, agility, and coordination. PSHE will centre around building positive Relationships, and in Spanish, we’ll be travelling Around the World, learning about different cultures and languages.
Your child will also have the opportunity to play an instrument in the Brass Band this year. Please make sure they are practising and bringing their instrument in every Tuesday.
