Welcome to Year 5!

We cover three topics over the year:

Autumn: Industrial Staffordshire

Spring: Ancient Egypt

Summer: Crime and Punishment

Year 5 Long Term Plan

To enhance these topics further, we go on trips to Birmingham back to backs houses, Thinktank museum and Staffordshire History Centre where we learn more about the history of Stafford prison. To enhance our RE understanding we visit the local Sikh Gurdwara during Interfaith Week.

Our community project links to the local charity House of Bread where we make a loaf of bread to donate.

Reading is at the heart of all we do, we have daily story time, daily time to read our own books and have a visit to the local library where we get our own library card and bring home a book to borrow.

Please look at our page to see some of our learning in action. You can also find our termly newsletters with key information for the term.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office who will be able to direct you to the year group lead, Miss Witton.
