Below is the Year 5 Curriculum Overview for 2020-21 and the plans for Autumn and Spring 1.
In the Spring Term we will be learning about Ancient Civilizations.
This term we will be learning about Ancient Civilizations. Initially we will focus on history and learn how people in Egypt lived their lives 4000 years ago. We will begin by learning about the mummification process! Linking to geography, we will learn about Africa as a continent (focusing on Egypt particularly) and how its physical features shaped the Egyptian Civilization. To finish our study, we’ll use DT skills to create board games based on Ancient Egyptian games, such as Aseb and Senet. Later on, in the term, pupils will be taught about the people of Ancient Sumer, The Shang Dynasty and the Indus valley. We will compare: religious practices; hierarchy, crime, punishment and their legal system: buildings and settlements; leisure, fashion, past times and daily life; and their legacy-how have they influenced us.
