Year 5 NC
Welcome to 5NC
2024-2025
Welcome to fantastic 5NC! In Year 5, we cover a broad curriculum allowing the children to explore many books, think mathematically, write creatively and most of all… enjoy their learning. Have a look at some of the amazing things we have been so far...
We enjoyed our Science workshop exploring the effects of greenhouse gases. We made our own carbon dioxide and investigated how the temperature increased. This showed us what is happening to our planet and how important it is to change this for the future.
We were visited by Stronger Shores to explore the effects of climate change on coastal erosion. We also made our own bioplastic to show how we can improve the problems caused by plastic on the environment.
Our fabulous day at Gibside!
Durham Cathedral Music Outreach Project
Our singing preparations are well underway for our upcoming performance at Durham Cathedral!
FORCES IN ACTION!
As part of our Science topic this term, we have investigated water resistance, air resistance and friction. We have discovered how forces are all around us and can be both helpful and unhelpful. We have created fair tests to investigate how different shapes, sizes and materials can effect the amount of force upon an object.
SUFFRAGETTES AT BEAMISH
We had a fantastic time at Beamish exploring life in 1913 as a Suffragette. We dramatised life as either a Suffragette, a Suffragist or an Antist and took part in protests and debates to deepen our understanding of our History topic.

Design Technology: Textiles - Stuffed Toys
As an introduction to our Design Technology topic, we discussed and evaluated our own stuffed toys. We discussed a variety of criteria to help us to design and make our own!
SHOW RASCISM THE RED CARD
We explored the causes and consequences of racism in a fun and engaging workshop.
We discussed the role of the internet in our every day lives and considered how to question and think critically about things that we see online.
We identified the ways in which we can use online gaming appropriately.
We questioned and discussed the use of racist language when online.
