Year 5
Welcome to Year 5
We have got some very exciting topics lined up for this year and some amazing experiences. Year Five is the year where you will be taking on more responsibilities and becoming those Blackshaw role models for the rest of the school. You will be involved with play leading which will involve leading games and activities with key stage 1 children and you will also be their reading buddies.
In Science, we will investigate deepen our knowledge around materials and conduct investigations around how they change. We will be exploring animals and plants life cycles and learn how to have a healthy lifestyle. We will learn about the circulatory system and how our body transports water and nutrients. Forces will be investigated and we complete our topics in the summer when we learn all about space.
We continue our journey through time by looking at the Victorian era in history and also finding out about the ancient Egyptian civilisation as well as looking at local history and in geography we investigate the Amazon Rainforest and all its flora and fauna.
These are just a few aspects of our wonderful curriculum. However, in addition to this, we also enjoy other experiences such as going to our local Octagon Theatre and also attending a two night residential trip which involves all kinds of outdoor activities and team building exercises.
