Welcome back to the final term of Year 5 in Tolerance Class.

There's still time to fit lots in!

History

How has the legacy of the Greeks impacted the modern world?

We continue to learn about Ancient Greece this term, building upon learning from last term. Exploring how people lived in Sparta and how it compared to the city state of Athens, we then learn about Alexander the Great and how he expanded his empire and its impact on others. Understanding the importance of myths, we will compare it with learning from last term and look at how beliefs impacted the theatre. Retrieving knowledge from Year 3, we will then understand why Ancient Greece succumbed to the Romans. 

Science- Animals Including Humans

Do all animals change as they develop to old age?

Building on our knowledge of life cycles from last term, we will then understand the different stages of human development and the changes we go through during puberty. 

RE

Where and how do believers express themselves?

After looking at the expression of different faiths through Art, we will now explore other ways faiths can express their beliefs. We will look at how dance is used by both religious and non-religious people and recognise how creativity is connected to the meaning of being human. Identifying the importance of creativity and the way it is used to express meaning, emotion and knowledge we will then express ourselves creatively.

Design Technology- Textiles

Can an eco-friendly product still be authentic?

This term we build our prior knowledge of sewing and textiles to design and make our own bags using recycled materials. We can't wait to showcase these to you!
