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 ‘Heroes of the Titanic’. It is part of our whole school COMMUNITY driver.

Every historian asks questions about the past and uses evidence to understand why important events happened.

In this unit, pupils investigate one of history's most famous maritime disasters through the story of the Titanic. They begin by discovering why Liverpool became one of the world's greatest ports and why Titanic proudly carried Liverpool on her stern. Pupils explore the ship's construction, the events leading to the sinking, and the experiences of people on board, including Harold Bride and Margaret (Molly) Brown. They use primary and secondary sources to investigate different interpretations of the disaster before evaluating its lasting impact on maritime safety, communication and the city of Liverpool.

Throughout the unit pupils return to the enquiry question:

How did the Titanic disaster change the world?
