Autumn 1 Year 5

​

In Year 5 we will begin with an art enquiry experimenting with enlargement and overlapping techniques of subject matter painted from still life. During this learning enquiry, we will be observing and analysing the work of many abstract artists with a particular focus on watercolour. As well as that, we will be experimenting with watercolour techniques, composition and perspective.

 

After completing our art enquiry, we will be embarking on a historical enquiry where we will evaluate the life of the Ancient Greeks. We will be particularly focusing on Greek housing, social class, jobs and exploring how the Greeks lived. We will be delving into Greek life and evaluating the causes the standard of living and society, we will be thinking about why people settled in Greece and what the impact of these the Greek way of life was, and we will be thinking about the chronological development of their society, housing and jobs.

 

Our PE this term will consist of 2 lessons per week, one taught by Mr Atkinson and the other taught by Pottage. First, the children will be practicing their passing and communication skills in invasion games. We also have our Pixie’s Holt residential experience where the children will learn to build their collaboration, resilience and problem-solving skills in the beautiful surroundings of Dartmoor.
