Welcome to our year group page, where you can find our curriculum overviews, latest news, photos of learning opportunities and achievements in Year 5.
Current Topic- Whose Land is it Anyway? (The Anglo-Saxon Invasion) Spring Term 3
For the next six weeks, Year 5’s learning will be tightly linked to our history curriculum. The pupils will be learning about the Anglo-Saxons and their impact on the UK from AD/CE 449 - 1066. The hook into the topic will be linked to the novel ‘Beowulf' and they will have the opportunity to read a short version of the story as well as extracts from other versions.
Children will learn where the Anglo-Saxons came from and about their invasion. They will also learn about Alfred the Great, as well as Anglo-Saxon Life and Entertainment. The children will also have the chance to research and explore a line of historical enquiry of their own choice focusing on one area of Anglo-Saxon history which interests them. During art lessons, the children will further develop their historical knowledge by having the opportunity to explore Anglo-Saxon patterns before creating blocks for printin
