Year 5 Curriculum
Year 5 24-25
Trip to Tamworth Castle
Year 5 had such an enjoyable experience at Tamworth Castle. The children loved uncovering different artefacts and enjoyed becoming Anglo-Saxon and Viking Soldiers. They also had the opportunity to explore the whole castle and even go to the top of the tower!
Spring Term
To launch Year 5's new topic, they took part in their own version of Race across the World, in which they had to travel from the East coast to the West coast of America, whilst completing various geographical challenges.
Their final challenge was to build a bridge using spaghetti and marshmallows.
We look forward to learning more about the geography of America over the Spring term.
Year 5 have really enjoyed Keeping Safe Week.
As part of their e-safety learning, they set up an advice line, helping other children to feel comfortable online.
In PE, we learnt about the importance of looking after our physical and mental well-being.
We learned it's important to stay active but also rest too by doing activities such as yoga.
Summer Term
Year 5 enjoyed the learning launch for their new history topic. We will be learning about the Shang Dynasty. We researched facts about China, built our own ancient Chinese temples, explored the Yellow River and analysed different artefacts and their links to community.
In Maths, Year 5 have been looking at 2D representations of 3D shapes. Here we have created a collaborative piece of artwork using a representation of a cube.
