Y5 Curriculum

IThe curriculum at Carterknowle is well sequenced so that children are able to revisit knowledge gained in previous years, and build upon this throughout year 5. We plan lessons to be engaging, as well as current and relevant. In year 5, we hope to inspire children and help them to develop a sense of awe and wonder in the world around them. We also focus on citizenship and encourage the children to reflect on their place in the community and help them to become responsible citizens.

Through exciting and challenging learning and activities, the children discover what makes the Earth unique, how our world has developed into the special place it is today and why we should value it. Children are given opportunities to become ‘experts in their field’ through inspirational enrichment activities, such as travelling back in time to become fully immersed in the Viking Age at Jorvik Viking Centre, visiting the local Synagogue and exploring a range of different art exhibitions at Sheffield Millennium Gallery. We also have experts who visit the school to share their skills, such as encouraging ‘engineers in-the-making’ to design and construct innovative bridges
