The Curriculum

Autumn- What shapes our world

This term, Year 5 will be diving into World War II and using it to inspire lots of exciting learning! In English, we'll be working on discussion texts where children will look at different viewpoints and learn to argue their points clearly, plus they'll be writing diary entries to help them imagine what life was like for people during the war. In Science, we're focusing on being real scientists - the children will be doing lots of hands-on experiments to explore different materials and find out about their properties. Our main topic is World War II, which will bring everything together beautifully, especially in Art where we'll be looking at propaganda posters from the time and having a go at creating our own. The children will also be continuing to develop their maths skills and concepts throughout the term, building on their knowledge in all areas of mathematics. We're really excited about our planned trip to the Holocaust Centre, which will give the children a deeper understanding of this important period in history. Plus, the children will have weekly swimming lessons to keep developing their water skills and confidence. It's going to be a really engaging term where the children can see how their learning connects across different subjects while picking up important skills in writing, scientific thinking, and creative work.
