Curriculum overview

Please find below a summary of what year 5 pupils will be learning about this Autumn term. We are currently working hard to assess the gaps in our children’s knowledge brought about from the Covid 19 school disruptions and begin to fill them, so lessons are a little different to the usual Autumn term schedule. A greater focus has been given to reading, literacy and maths, with lots of time also given to emotional and mental welfare. It is our aim to quickly fill those gaps in our children’s understanding, restore stamina and rebuild healthy, positive attitudes to learning and school.

Ourselves

This Autumn we will be guided by the ‘Come and See’ RE scheme of work and will focus on the topic ‘Ourselves’. This topic aims to investigate our individual talents, gifts and qualities and accept that they gifts from God. We study our uniqueness and the reasons to celebrate this and we study how we can develop our God given gifts and qualities for the good of others.
