Year 5 Curriculum Projects
Year 5 Project - Allotment
This term, we’ll visit an allotment to see what’s growing and spot the greenhouses and frames that help the plants to grow. Our visit will inspire us to write a report about the allotment and investigate types of compost and biodegradable materials used. We’ll use food from the allotment to make delicious dishes, and plant our own fruits and vegetables. We’ll explore germination, learn more about the parts of the plant and find out how they reproduce. Maps will help us to identify the best place for an allotment and where different foods come from.
Memorable Experience - Visit an allotment
Geography - Land use; Food origins; Geographical skills and fieldwork; Map work; Climate
