Van Gogh-Year 5

Welcome to Van Gogh - Year 5!

The Year 5 team are Miss Jackson, the Y5 teacher, along with Mrs Kilby who supports the children with their learning.

Mrs Lewis Nelson will also be spending time with Van Gogh during the week.

Within our class we will focus on promoting a safe environment for learning whilst supporting a healthy mind. The imperative nature of mental health meanders throughout our curriculum.

In Van Gogh this term our focus concept is Diversity.

Sunny Summer term has finally arrived!

During this term, we will be making the most of the outside space. Our PE topics include invasion games: dodgeball and football will be our main focuses, we also have Rock & Roll as our Dance topic, so exciting!

Jacques Cousteau’s journeys and opportunities will be a writing topic of ours, we will investigate his life and discoveries. This will also link to our art topic: Batik. Children will be creating their own Batik designs by melting wax onto their fabric designs to craft beautiful, underwater themed creations.

We have an array of fantastic sporting opportunities this year including: hockey, gymnastics, dance, athletics, cricket and football.

In Van Gogh we use the school's values, faith and local context as much as possible to create opportunities to bring the curriculum to life and include the wider world in our classroom.
