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!

n Van Gogh we are welcoming in the summer term with some fantastic books and topics. Our concepts are Diversity and Opportunities.

Top favourites on our reading list this term include Holes by Louis Sachar and The Sleeper and the Spindle – both incredibly different but incredible fiction stories.

Our RE topic investigates Gospel within Christianity. We will be discussing how storytelling within the Bible was essential to Jesus’ teachings; our concept for RE is Belonging.

As the weather gets better, we will be taking our Orienteering PE unit outside! In addition, our secondary PE unit is Dance, Rock ‘N’ Roll – a chance to show off great moves!

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.
