Welcome to Class 5
Welcome
Year 5 have a super exciting year ahead, starting with our Rainforests topic in Autumn in which we will be looking at the features of a rainforest as well as studying Henri Rousseau's rainforest inspired art work. Throughout the rest of the year we will be studying the Ancient Maya and then the Egyptians. In science we will be finding out about the solar system and investigating life cycles in which we welcome ducklings to the class.
Young Leaders:
This is one of the new responsibilities given to Year 5 pupils. The children will be trained to play and teach inclusive playground games with the younger pupils in school. The children will take it in turns to be leaders of these games and activities on the playground on different days of the week. This is a great opportunity for the children to gain confidence, practise leadership skills and inspire younger children, as well as making playtime enjoyable for as many as possible.
The Year 5 Team
