Our Year 5 Curriculum
Our topic this term is 'On Safari'.
In History, we will be exploring the ancient Kingdom of Benin. We will be working on our use of key historical vocabulary and making connections and contrasts between the Kingdom of Benin and other civilisations.
In Geography, we will be looking at aspects of physical geography such as climate zones, longitude and latitude. We will then be linking this to our historical learning about Africa and the Kingdom of Benin.
In Science, our topics are 'Living Things and Their Habitats' and 'Animals Including Humans'. We will be working scientifically to sort and classify animals by their life cycles. We will be learning about sexual and asexual reproduction in plants and will be dissecting plants to explore each individual part.
In our Maths lessons, the children will be building on their fractions knowledge and multiplication and division skills. They will be applying their mathematical skills to a range of different problem solving tasks.
We will also cover: Perimeter & Area, Statistics, Shape and Position & Direction.
We will cover a range of skills in our English lessons this term. We will be reading and writing palindrome (reverse) poems, reading the text 'Gorilla' by Anthony Browne and writing effective sentences based on this text. We will also complete some non-fiction writing, as we explore the life of Sir David Attenborough and write a biography about his fascinating life and work.
