Y5

Mr Coleman will teach Year 5 alongside Mrs Eckford and Mrs Dean.

 This Spring Term, Year 5 will continue to build on their learning across Numeracy, Literacy, and Science through an engaging and stimulating curriculum.

In Literacy, pupils will develop their reading, writing, and enquiry skills through a curiosity-driven unit on the Mars rovers, alongside an in-depth study of Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. These texts will support rich discussion, comprehension, and extended writing, while encouraging pupils to think deeply about exploration, survival, and human impact.

In Science, the focus will be Earth and Space, where pupils will explore the movement of planets, phases of the Moon, and our place in the solar system, linking closely with their Mars-themed literacy work.

Geography will centre on Climate and Biomes, with a detailed focus on North America, including a geographical study of the Grand Canyon. Pupils will also develop their map skills by learning about latitude and longitude and how these are used to locate places around the world.

In History, pupils will study The Battle of Flamborough Head, exploring its significance and impact on British naval history.

We’re looking forward to another purposeful, engaging, and knowledge-rich term with Year 5
