Terrible Tudors!
A new half term, a new topic for Year 5!
This time, our focus will be history and the Tudor period from 1485 to 1603.
Our enquiry question is: 'Were the Tudors really that terrible?'
Yes, we all know about that dastardly Henry VIII and how he chopped off the heads of two of his wives. Yes, we all know that Tudor punishments were particularly gruesome. But were the Tudors really that terrible? Really?
Well, it's the job of Year 5 to find out this half term! Are you up for it?

Jigsaw PSHE
Relationships (continued)
Changes (see below)
This unit aims to look at:
Relationships starts with building a respectful relationship with self and covers topics including families, friendships, pets and animals, and love and loss, A vital part of this unit is about safeguarding and keeping children safe; this links to online safety and social networking. Children learn how to deal with conflict, build assertiveness skills and identify their own strengths and strategies for building self esteem and resilience. They explore roles and responsibilities in families and friendship groups, and consider stereotypes.
Jigsaw - Changes
This half term, our PSHE covers the topic ‘Changing Me’. This year, Year 5 will learn about puberty and changes to the body but not how a baby can be conceived which they will then learn about in Year 6 before moving on to secondary school.
There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
