Welcome to our year group page, where you can find our curriculum overviews, latest news, photos of learning opportunities and achievements in Year 5.
Current Topic- "Your Country Needs You" - Term 6
This term, Year 5 will continue to learn about World War 2, including finding out about the Blitz and the role of women in WW2. Our art will be linked to this as children will be producing Blitz pictures.
Our English work will be based around the short film Beyond the Lines. The children will be writing letters and also practising performing ready for our end of year show.
PE will be on Tuesdays (Rounders) and Thursdays (Athletics). Please make sure your child has the correct PE kit for those days.
Reminders and Routines
Children must bring a named water bottle into school each day and all school uniform should be clearly labelled to ensure it can be returned to your child if misplaced. If you have arranged for your child to be collected by another adult that this is communicated to the office or the class teacher.
During summer months, please also make sure your child has a sun hat to wear outside and has sun cream applied each morning before school.
