Our Topics
In year 5, we ensure that learning remains fun and fulfilling, whilst maintaining the rigor that is needed to ensure the school’s standards remain high.
The children's learning takes them all over the world in Year 5 in the following learning journeys:
Term 1 - Walking with Egyptians
Term 2 - It’s a Kind Of Magic
Term 3 - Final Frontier
Term 4 - Around the World in 80 days
Term 5 – Tide Mills Local History
Term 6 – The Journey of Life
We will be teaching these through a cross curricular approach so that the children are immersed into each topic.
Term 1 - Walking with Egyptians
In term 1, we will learn about: the reigns of Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, The Rosetta Stone, The Egyptian Creation Story and Mummification to name a few! For more information please view our Parent Booklet.
