Welcome to Year 5!
This year we will be learning all about the human body and the circulatory system, as well as life during the plague before becoming experts about Mexico in the summer term! We are planning some inspiring and creative learning opportunities, which we are sure our children will love!
What makes your heart beat faster?
During the Autumn term, we will be learning about the circulatory system, including how the heart works, what impact exercise has on the body and how to keep the heart healthy.
