Our teachers are Miss Royston-German and Miss Gray, and our teaching assistants are Miss Stocks and Miss Baker. 

All the adults in year 5 are excited about the year to come! Between the four of us, we have a breadth of knowledge to share with the children.

In English, we will study various genres, learning new vocabulary and knowledge along the way. We will look at a variety of text types and we will be working hard to further develop our writing. We will read a wide variety of texts including fiction, non-fiction and poetry. We will work on oracy skills throughout the year, interwoven into different curriculum areas, so we can develop into confident communicators.

In Science, we will study a broad curriculum looking at the areas of Biology, Physics and Chemistry. We will be starting with forces, moving onto space, reproduction and finally, reversible and irreversible changes.

In Design and Technology, we will work on several projects throughout the year. We will be sewing toys, making bird boxes and developing our cooking skills whilst making a delicious bolognese.

We will be focusing on two periods, the Industrial Revolution and The Mayas, in History.

Look out for our half-termly curriculum newsletters for further, detailed information about the curriculum in Year 5.

It’s going to be a busy but fun year!
