Welcome to Year Five
Welcome to Year 5!
Miss Gallagher, Miss Myers, Mrs Clarke, Mrs Tadajewski and Miss Thomas make up the Year 5 team.
In Year 5 we believe in an immerse approach to learning so that children get the most out of every experience. We try to link topics so that it is meaningful and so it hooks every child in the year group.
We begin the year with a trip back in time to discover the history of World War 2. As part of this topic we look at life as an evacuee and make genuine World War 2 recipes. We also visit Eden Camp so we can experience what it was like to live during this time. During this topic, we learn about forces and use models of World War 2 planes to help us explore. We also visit the church to remember those that have fought and lost their lives. Because this topic is so interesting, it lasts us the entire Autumn term. To celebrate the end of this topic, we have a party, just like they did to celebrate the end of the war!
In the Spring term, we splash into the water cycle! Here we will explore rivers and how important water is to the world. During this term, we delve into the solar system in our Earth and Space topic. As our topic are very scientific, we have plenty of opportunities to become fully fledged scientists!
During the summer term, we look at what life was like for an Anglo-Saxon. We explore kingdoms and join invasions on our quests to become Anglo-Saxon masters. In this topic, we have plenty of time to explore our artistic abilities, as we replicate art from this period of history.
If all of this learning wasn’t enough, we also offer many other opportunities in Year 5. As part of the Year 5 team, children will have the chance to take part in Bikeability where they can earn a certificate for learning bike safety. We also take part in both cross country and orienteering where we compete against other schools in Barnsley. All are a fantastic way to develop resilience, teamwork and listening skills.
Because of all this fantastic learning, we really focus on reading and how it can develop knowledge and understanding. Each topic will have linked reading texts in guided reading. We have passion for reading in Year 5, both in and out of school.
As part of Upper Key Stage 2, we work hard at becoming more resilient and responsible, taking ownership over our own learning and place in the local community.
With such a busy year, we know children will love their learning journey in Year 5!
