Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

We are excited to welcome you to Year 5 and look forward to a fantastic year of learning and growth. This is an important stage where children develop greater independence, resilience and confidence in their learning.

In English, children will explore a range of high-quality texts to develop their reading comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills. They will write in a variety of styles, including narratives, reports and persuasive texts, with a focus on grammar, punctuation and spelling. In maths, they will work with larger numbers, develop written methods for calculations, and explore fractions, decimals, geometry and data through problem-solving and reasoning.

Our wider curriculum includes exciting topics in science, history and geography that encourage curiosity and investigation. In art, music and drama, children will express their creativity and imagination.

PE lessons will build fitness, coordination and teamwork, while PSHE will support children in understanding friendships, emotions and how to take care of themselves and others.

We are looking forward to supporting each child as they face new challenges, grow in confidence and enjoy their learning journey. It’s going to be a brilliant year!
