Autumn 1 2025

A new academic year approaches quickly and to kick start Y5/6 our topic is called 'Spirit of Adventure'.

In this topic, the children will learn about the natural world. As scientists, they will explore how evolution explains how some species adapt over time to their environment. A visit from Jungle Jonathan, will show the children some animals up close and personal! From this, drawing skills will be developed in art, as the children recreate animal pattern and texture using pencil and oil pastels.

In DT, the children will continue to develop their sewing skills, using a range of sewing stiches to produce their own bag, designed by themselves with a purpose in mind.

Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals will be the inspiration for children to create their own musical piece, using glockenspiels too!
