Welcome to year 5’s page. This year the teachers are Miss Groom (5G), Mrs Donaghy and Mr McMahon (5DM). The teaching assistant across the year group is Miss Deane.
We have a wonderful year planned with lots of amazing learning experiences both in and out of the classroom.
Our topics include:
- Off With Her Head! (The Tudors)
- Stargazers
- Pharaohs
- Allotment
- Scream Machine
Within these topics, we include a range of educational visits or visitors to immerse the children into each topic. We also hold parent workshops termly which gives the children the opportunity to learn alongside their parents/carers.
As well as following the National Curriculum, we enhance our learning via our unique Curriculum Promise. This is split into three key sections:
Personal development- this goes beyond our PSHE lessons and supports children with wider contexts such as how to stay safe online and in person, positive relationships and careers.
People of note- we look at key contemporary and historical figures in the fields of literature, science and the arts.
Key events- here we calendar a range of key dates which we participate in such as National celebrations, religious festivals and elements linked to British Values.
See the table below for examples of what will be studied in year five:
