Year 5 Theme Overview.pdf

In Year 5 our class mascot is ‘Shelly Seagull’’. Shelly helps us to focus on the following characteristics of effective learning.

In Year 5, through our teaching, and the experiences we offer, our children will learn how to become:

LEADERS - I try to influence others, negotiating and balancing different views to reach workable solutions.

COMPASSIONATE- I can use previously acquired knowledge and empathy to understand people and their feelings.

INQUISITIVE - I can look closely at information, judging its importance and value, asking the right questions to verify it.

RESOURCEFUL - I can work towards goals, showing initiative and without giving up.

Current CRACKING Curriculum Theme

Our current theme is ‘Earth, Air, Wind and Fire’. It is part of our whole school ENVIRONMENT driver.

In our study we will learn about physical geography and the key features, such as mountains, and rivers with the impact natural disasters can have on human society. We will study geographical processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and flooding, identifying the importance that plate tectonics and climate zones plays in these processes. Our learning will link to our study of the River Nile, whilst investigating out our local river. Finally we will give consideration to the current ‘Global Warming’ Crisis, the use of energy and a sustainable way forward.

Please download the files below to see our current planning and Knowledge Organiser (WISK Sheet). These documents will provide you with a clear overview of all the subjects and learning that will take place in your child’s current theme.
