Year 5 Unit 5 - Protecting Our Environment (FREE SOW)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in the Year 5 Protecting Our Environment unit, which deepens students’ understanding of environmental issues and climate change. Students will explore key concepts such as the causes of climate change, the importance of sustainable living, and actions we can take to protect the planet. They will also learn about the role of democracy in addressing environmental challenges, examining ways individuals can influence government policies on climate change and environmental protection.

This free planning bundle includes a detailed scheme of work, a long-term plan showing our entire curriculum at a glance, a Year 5 roadmap clearly illustrating the progressive design across the year, and a comprehensive knowledge organiser highlighting key vocabulary and summarising the progression of skills and knowledge. It also includes British Values mapping and optional pre- and post-assessments. Explore the detailed content of each lesson by clicking the links provided below:
