Autumn Term
Welcome to the Year 5 page! We have a busy and action packed year to look forward to. We have a variety of new topics including the Ancient Greeks, Space and our Solar System and 'All about Pets'.
Miss Rowles, Mrs Owen and I, are all passionate and driven to ensure your children have all the support that they will need on their next steps through St. Clement's.
I hope you find this page useful but as ever, if you have any questions or worries please do not hesitate to ring school or speak to me.

The Way The Truth and the Life
At St Clement's we follow 'The Way the Truth, The Life' scheme in RE. The children cover a different topic each Half Term as shown below.
Autumn 1 - Gifts of God
The topic is designed to allow children to explore how God created the world and us. It encourages to think about ways we ought to be looking after the Earth and each other.
Autumn 2 - The Commandments
This topic looks at the purpose of the ten commandments and their relevance in modern life. It also teaches us to reflect on promises we make and Jesus' role in our lives.
Spring 1 - Inspirational people
This topic looks at what it means to be a follower of Jesus. It is designed to allow the children to reflect on what it means for them and learn about the Beatitudes show us the way to live.
Spring 2 - Reconciliation
Reconciliation focuses on understanding the impact of our choices and how we can seek forgiveness from God.
Summer 1 = Life in the Risen Lordthat it had.
Life in the Risen Lord allows us to explore what happened after Jesus was resurrected. We learn about who Jesus interacted with and the lasting impression
Summer 2 - People of other faiths
This unit helps us to understand why other people have different beliefs, so that we can be more tolerant of others and promote British Values.
