Year Five Curriculum Map 2020/2021

Return to School, Autumn One

It is wonderful to have the children back in school, learning alongside each other again.  They have shown a huge amount of resilience and thrown themselves back in to their learning 🙂  We are very proud of them.

Motivational Posters

In Year 5 we have been thinking about ways in which we can motivate and inspire others. We have created motivational posters to help us all remember why we are amazing!

Distance Learning

Summer Two

Creativity Week!

It has been wonderful seeing some of the creative learning that Year 5 have been doing this week 🙂  The children have been busy doing a variety of activities, including designing their own front cover for their favourite book; drawing birds; creating doodle arms; making nature Mandalas; and designing their own superhero. Well done everyone!

Nature Mandalas:

Here are some photos of Year 5’s amazing Nature Mandalas.  The word ‘mandala’ is ancient Sanskrit for circle.  The circle symbolises how nature has no beginning or end but is always connected.  I think you’ll agree that they are absolutely beautiful!

Summer One

Please take a moment to read this beautiful prayer, written by one of our Year 5 pupils.

It is lovely to see these commemorative mug designs, in celebration of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day).

It is wonderful to see the children still creating brilliant artwork in support of our NHS heroes.  Here is a beautiful piece, using just masking tape and chalk on the ground:

Easter Holiday Activities:

It has been so lovely seeing some of the wonderful creations and activities that the children have been doing over the Easter break.  These include painting pebbles and creating posters to recognise our NHS heroes; creating Easter bookmarks; making Easter baskets and bonnets; and working on projects.  It’s also lovely to see the Polish tradition of growing cress over Easter.  It looks like they have had a fun and creative time!

This week, Year Five were asked  to carry out an experiment which involved evaporating salty water. Here is a picture from one of the investigations that was carried out at home
