We’re thrilled to welcome you to our Year 5 class—where curiosity meets creativity and learning comes to life! This year promises to be full of exciting challenges, new discoveries, and plenty of opportunities to grow both academically and personally.

In Year 5, we dive deeper into subjects, explore big ideas, and build the confidence to ask bold questions. Whether we’re investigating ancient civilizations, experimenting in science, or crafting imaginative stories, every day is a chance to learn, laugh, and shine together.

Our classroom is a place where kindness matters, effort is celebrated, and everyone belongs. We can’t wait to see what amazing things our Year 5 learners will achieve this year!

Welcome to the Autumn Term. Please see the Year 5 long medium term plans for curriculum information.
