Autumn term website,
This term, Year 5 have so many exciting things to discover and learn! We’ll travel back in time to explore the Golden Age of Baghdad and the beginnings of the British Empire, while in Geography we’ll develop our map skills and discover how some of the world’s most spectacular mountains and mountain ranges were formed. In Science, we’ll investigate materials and forces, and in RE we’ll explore the People of God, creation and different ideas about how our world began.
We’ll also be getting creative through Art, Music, Dance and Latin, including exploring Islamic art and architecture, learning jazz and Livin’ on a Prayer, and following the adventures of Iulius as he joins the Roman army. In English and Maths, we’ll develop our skills through suspense writing, reports, place value, the four operations and algebra.
It’s going to be a busy, exciting and fascinating term full of discovery, creativity and new challenges! 🌎🏔️🏛️🎨📚
