In Year 5, we embrace challenges and adopt a growth mindset. We are keen to learn from others and explore how we can improve our own understanding. We enjoy an enriching and engaging curriculum that provides us with opportunities to investigate current affairs and to learn about inspirational people.
In Ash, we embrace equality and diversity. We recognise that we each have a responsibility to change the world for the better. With that in mind, we believe that kindness, forgiveness and empathy come first, and a smile or compliment can make someone’s day.
We read fantastic books such as Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Rooftoopers by Katherine Rundell, Journey of the Pale Bear by Susan Fletcher and Street Child by Berlie Doherty along with poetry by Joseph Coelho, Maya Angelou and Adisa.
We will also be studying some interesting topics, including Slums, Earth and Space, the Kingdom of Benin, We are Game Developers, Properties and Changes to Materials, We are Cryptographers, Wisdom and Sikhism. In addition, we take part in a Daily Mile and receive PE lessons from specialist sports coaches to keep us physically active.
