Year 5 - Jade Class and Lime Class
Year 5 Welcome Booklets
Curriculum overview
Autumn Term 2
Another half term where the children have worked so hard and much fun has been had. It started with a bang when an earthquake hit Guiseley and cause chaos in the classrooms! We had to put our reporter hats on to report on the incident.
We have done lots of science investigations to answer questions relating to forces. Learning the difference between weight and mass was interesting (try dropping a light and a heavy object at the same time and seeing which hits the ground first).
We studied Romero Britto in art, had fun improving our basketball and rugby skills in PE, worked incredibly hard to understand fractions and we rounded off the half term with parties and a visit from Santa.
Autumn Term 1 2024/2025
What a hard-working and fun start to Year 5 we have had.
We learnt lots about space - now we know how night and day and the seasons are created and can look out for the phases of the lunar cycle.
In music, we learned a sea shanty cup song and made our own body percussion rhythms to the Wellerman sea shanty.
In DT, we adapted and made and ate our own spaghetti bolognese recipes - a highlight for lots of us!
We also talked a lot about mental health, celebrated art week with some amazing Maya inspired art and did lots of sport.
