Class Teacher: Mrs Day
Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to Year 5! We are delighted to be working with you and your child during this exciting stage of their learning journey.
Year 5 is a year of growing independence, curiosity and challenge. Our classroom is a warm, supportive and engaging environment where pupils are encouraged to ask questions, think deeply and develop a love of learning. We work hard to ensure pupils feel confident, valued and motivated to do their best.
This page will be regularly updated with information about our learning, key events and ways you can support your child at home.
Learning in Year 5
Pupils in Year 5 follow a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that builds on prior learning and prepares them for the increasing expectations of upper Key Stage 2. Alongside English and mathematics, pupils study a wide range of subjects including science, history, geography, art, computing, music, physical education and PSHE.
Learning is designed to develop pupils’ knowledge, independence, resilience and confidence, ensuring they continue to grow as well-rounded learners.
Reading is highly valued in Year 5. Pupils are encouraged to read widely and regularly to build vocabulary, strengthen comprehension and develop a lifelong enjoyment of reading.
