Year 5: A Year of Growth and Learning

A very warm welcome to our Year 5 class page for this academic year. We are excited to work with each and every one of you, and we are confident that this year will be filled with growth, learning, and enjoyable experiences.

This year, we have a fantastic range of topics lined up. In History, we will explore the Anglo-Saxons and the Scots, alongside many other fascinating topics. In Science, we will delve into areas like Life Cycles and Reproduction and Earth and Space. In Geography, we will explore the Alps and the Significance of Oceans, both of which promise to be exciting and engaging topics. In RE, we will consider how the first five Gurus shaped Sikhism and explore the meaning of Christmas through art and music.

These carefully chosen topics are designed to challenge, engage, and ignite curiosity in our pupils, and we look forward to seeing the wonderful progress they will make.

Please make sure to visit this class page regularly to stay updated with important information, announcements, and timetables. We will be sharing all necessary materials to help you stay informed and on track with your studies.

We wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting journey with us. Our goal is to create a positive and nurturing learning environment where every pupil can thrive and reach their full potential.
