Year 5 2023-24
On our class page, you will find information about Year 5 curriculum coverage, P.E days, homework, spellings and useful links. Please check regularly for special events and reminders.
In Summer 2, our theme is 'The Incredible Egyptians.' We will investigate the attitudes, beliefs and ways of life of men, women and children in the Ancient Egyptian times. We will describe the social hierarchy of the Pharaoh's rule over his subjects, who had different jobs and varying degrees of importance e.g. Viziers, scribes, peasant farmers. We will use sources of evidence and timelines to explain key events and chronology.
Our creation of Ancient Egyptian ceremonial and death masks in Art will complement our history work.
In Science, we will study the effects of different forces on the shape, movement and speed of objects. Key vocabulary includes gravity, friction, air and water resistance.
