Wider curriculum

From October half term onwards, optional extended home learning challenges will be set half termly on the Year 5 class page on the school website. 

Each half term, children will be given a photo, picture or maybe an open-ended question or specific topic related to our WAC or Science unit. Children can then be as creative as they like to create a piece (or pieces) of work in any style that they want related to the task set. There is no right or wrong answer - we are just hoping to encourage and develop creativity and independence. 

Examples of work could be: a poem, a piece of art work, a 3D model, a report, a story, a fact file, a video, a song, interview someone of relevance...the possibilities are endless! 

In the last week of each half term, time will be given to celebrate the work created by the children who take part. 

*Check back here after half term for the first challenge!

Spring 2 - ‘Let’s settle this’: Romans, Anglo Saxons and Vikings

Due date: Friday 4th April 2025

This is your chance to explore, research and present on an area of hsitory that we may have covered or skipped over. Whether it's comparing the diets of Celts and Vikings, or how each time period made their weapons - this is your opportunity to dig deeper into an area of your interest.

Summer 1 - Science: Living Things and their Habitats  

Due: Tuesday 20th May  

You might know that bees are so important for our environment. Have a think about how bees might link to our 'Living Things and their Habitats' unit in science. Or maybe you'd like to focus on another living thing or group of living things. Maybe you'd like to research a habitat of your choosing, or could you create a habitat that would be perfect for a group of living things?!  

We look forward to seeing even more amazing and creative submissions!  

We will be sharing these as a year group on Thursday 22nd May and celebrating the hard work that has been put into your work :)
