Van Gogh-Year 5

Welcome to Van Gogh - Year 5!

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.

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

Welcome back to Van Gogh!

A new term, new challenges and new learning opportunities!

This half term our concept is HOPE.

Hope is interwoven within all aspects of the curriculum inclusive of our RE topic: Was Jesus the Messiah where children will be investigating and developing their understanding of Christianity and Christmas related Bible stories. Our class reader Wonder by R.J Palacio will inspire our outlook on how fortunate we our in our own lives. Subsequently, hope is portrayed through our writing and Science topics linking to Space.

Festival Day in December centres around football, a sport that we will be developing throughout PE, with the additional support from Coach Michael in our class tennis lessons.

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.
