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.

Discovery is our concept for Spring First Half – our learning will include investigating the solar system, lunar phases as well as how to build a rocket. We will be getting hands-on this term with a trip to Winchester INTECH discovery centre!

Not only this, but we will be discovering how different countries do things in a different way. Our Hook Off will be a sensational ‘Play In A Day’ which will open our eyes about healthy eating across the world

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

Books are essential to learning and we have some sensational stories ready for the year. These include: The Promise, The Girl that Speaks Bear, Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, Manfish, Aladdin, The People Awards and many others.

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.
