Numeracy: Mental and written calculations, times tables practice (with the Terror Tables!), shape, space and measures, data handling. We learn a variety of strategies and choose the way that suits us and gets the right answer!
IPC: How we learn, how the brain works, settlements and exploring maps of Otley and the wider community, the global market (how far have your pair of trainers travelled?!), myths and legends and different cultures.
RE: Creation, the 10 Commandments, inspirational people (we all know so many of those), praying and reflecting on the rosary, writing prayers for collecitve worship, class masses.
We understand in Year 5 that Jesus is at the heart of everything we say and do. Every day we are trying to follow him and lead good lives.
