Y5 Curriculum Overview Summer

Welcome to Year 5

_{Miss McDonagh is the class teacher with Mrs Shorbagy (teaching assistant) supporting.}

_{Mrs Jeffrey teaches the class on a Wednesday as PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) cover.}

We are looking forward to a fantastic year full of hard work, dedication and progress but also lots of fun! 

We have lots of exciting things ahead such as learning about Tudor England and Ancient Greece, learning to paint, cook, and sew in D&T, and looking at different habitats such as our oceans and deserts. We will focus on the importance of the Earth's oceans and how we can protect them. 

Of course, we also have our end of year residential trip to Alton Castle to look forward to, where we will work on problem-solving and team-building exercises, and we can reflect on our faith. 

Key information you may need to know:
