Hello and welcome to the Year 5 page!

We are so excited about all the fantastic things that we have planned this year! In Year 5, we have some exciting topics lined up, including South America and focusing on Brazil, the Maya, the Gunpowder Plot, Rainforests and the Great Plague.

In Science, we will be learning about reversible and irreversible changes, space, forces and the life cycles of plants and animals. 

During year 5, we also have various WOW days, learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom, which will include having the opportunity to go on a trip to the Space Centre. 

With lots of hard work, enthusiasm and kindness to each other, we will have a very successful year in which the children will learn lots whilst smiling and making memories along the way!

Mr Welbourne and Mr Constantinou
