In Year 5, we aim to encourage, excite, and engage our pupils in all areas of the curriculum and support them to be the best that they can be.  As they begin their journey at the upper end of school, we encourage the children to develop their independence further and really embed all the knowledge and skills they have been taught, lower in the school.  In Year 5 children are presented with a range of exciting opportunities encouraging them to take on further responsibility within school.  This includes applying to become Peer Supporters, who coordinate games and activities outside on the playground, or perhaps they might become a Digital Ambassador and teach others about staying safe online.  Also in Year 5, children will work with a music specialist where they will have the opportunity to learn how to play the samba drums.  They will then perform their musical arrangement to the rest of the school and to parents.  The Year 5 curriculum is full of exciting topics whereby children will travel on a journey through the ages when they explore the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in history lessons, they will become game developers in computing and learn all about Chinese art and inventions through Art and DT lessons.  Sounds fun, doesn’t it!
