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.
Contact your child’s class:

Year 5 have been enjoying learning the 12-bar blues on the glockenspiel.
They have been practicing learning the different chords in pairs and sound fantastic so far!

Today, Year 5 were talking about the subjects they learn at school and telling each other which lessons were their favourites, all in French.
They practised by talking to lots of different children in the class.
Très bien, Year 5
🇫🇷 👏🏻🤩

Year 5 had a visit from STEM UK.
The children had a fantastic day learning about the engineering behind wind turbines by making their own and competing against each other to see whose could create the largest amount of energy.
Thank you STEM UK for visiting us!

Year 5 have had a great morning at Sirius Academy West
The children split into two groups, one group looked at rules for the science lab, what fireworks are made of, they then carried out some experiments with a bunsen burner.
The second group designed and launched a water rocket 🚀
Thank you for having us, we all had a great time
