Y5 Curriculum Overview
Welcome to our Year 5 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.
We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.
On this page, you will find further information about our Year 5 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 5 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.

On Thursday Year 5 were investigating water resistance.
They formed various shapes from plasticine and placed them in bottles of water to help answer the question
Does surface area affect the time taken for an object to sink?
They made predictions, recorded results and wrote conclusions.
Great science work year 5!

A huge well done to Upton for their fantastic performance of Meet the Greeks yesterday! 🌟
Their singing was wonderful, their costumes and props looked amazing, and all their hard work learning and practising their lines really paid off. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves! 👏🎭

A small number of Years 5 and 6 children are visiting Twickenham today…not sure who was more excited Mr Mortimer, Mr Sitch or the children!
A long day with an early start but we hope you have an amazing day and can’t wait for updates
