How can perspectives influence us?

As part of our enquiry learning this term, we will be considering the question 'How can perspectives influence us?' We will be considering this question as we learn about the period of history that concerns the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We will learn about how and why the Anglo-Saxons and then the Vikings initially came to Britain and their reasons for settling. We will learn about what happened when the Vikings invaded and how the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings fought for control of the country. We will also learn about Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor.

Spring 2023

How diverse is our world?

Our enquiry learning this term will focus on Geography. Our enquiry question is 'How diverse is our world?' As part of our enquiry learning we will be learning about different biomes and the diversity that exists on the planet. We will be learning about countries in both North and South America and will look at how they contrast with life in the U.K.

In addition, we will be learning about rainforests and the impact of people on different biomes.

Here is Year 5's knowledge organiser. By the end of the Spring term, we will know all the information on our knowledge organiser. To help us to remember our learning we do 'quiz time' three times a week, which helps us to focus on our sticky knowledge.
