MEET AND GREET PRESENTATION 2025-2026

Autumn Term 2025/2026

The Victorians 

Welcome back to the Autumn term; I hope you all enjoyed the Summer break.  We are looking forward to lots of interesting learning and hard work in Year 5 this term.  

 Our main topic for the term is 'The Victorians' with History being a significant focus. We will be stepping back into the 19th century to find out who Queen Victoria was and what she was like. We will also be discovering what life was like for the Victorians through exploring some of the social and technological advances of the time, as well as looking at leisure, the arts and entertainment.  Through this historical topic, we will then investigate artists from this era and finally create our own Victorian dolls house.   

Our PE days this term will be Monday and Wednesday children will be expected to come dressed in PE kit that day.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or worries and I Iook forward to meeting you all at our class Open Classrom event  in early September (dates to be announced soon). I am very much looking forward to working with you and your children throughout this year.

September 2025 - Art

In our Art, we investigated some works of the famous artist William Morris, born in 1834, who was an English textile designer, poet, artist, and writer.  Carefully using our observational skills, we continued on drawing his beautiful patterns, considering shade, tone and details. These were beautiful and the attention to detail was amazing. 

Science - September 2025

In Science this term, we were learning about reproduction in flowering plants. We dissected a flower looking closely at each of the important parts and labelling them on our diagram.  We used some scientific equipment such as tweezers, magnifying classes and petri dishes.  Language such as pollination, fertilisation, carpel and stamen were important to understanding when describing this wonderful natural process.  We were true scientist as work. 

September 2025 - RE - Sanatana Dharma

We have been learning how to define commitment and the different things we are commited too: football, gymnastics, good behaviour choices, exercising more and practising our musical instruments.  Looking at different scenarios, we were able to understand how levels of commitment can look different for different people.  We learnt a formula which might help us with out own commitment in future.    

September 2025 - PE - Tchoukball Fun!
This term, Year 5 have been diving into the exciting world of Tchoukball—a fast-paced, team-focused sport that builds throwing skills, movement, and strategy. Pupils have explored different types of throws, learned how to find space on the court, and enjoyed some friendly competition. A brilliant way to boost confidence, teamwork, and physical fitness!
