Welcome to Year 5 at Beacon Academy!

This year will be filled with exciting opportunities to expand your knowledge, develop new skills, and explore a wide range of subjects. As you progress through the year, you will be encouraged to think critically, collaborate with others, and strive for excellence in all that you do.

You will be part of either Class Magpie or Class Wagtail, guided by your wonderful teachers, Mr. Parker or Miss Khan and supported by our teaching assistants Mr. Eldridge and Mrs. Fletcher

Throughout the year, we will explore fascinating topics such as Baghdad: The Round City and Anglo-Saxon Britain in two of our six History topics. We will dive into fantastic books like The Girl Who Stole an Elephant and The Closest Thing to Flying.

In Science, we will investigate exciting topics such as Properties and Changes of Materials and What is a Life Cycle?

In Geography, we will be exploring the sea in our topic "The Oceans."
