Year 5
There are three Year 5 classes. Every morning, children have a Writing, Reading and Mathematics lesson.
In the afternoons, the children have History or Geography lessons every week. Also, they have one session a week of Science, Music, PSHE and RE. The children have two PE lessons every week. Children also develop key skills such as spellings, grammar and arithmetic in short sessions which can be applied across the curriculum.
We also expect children to read regularly at home. Each child is given a reading journal and they are given the responsibility of recording what they read at home. They are also expected to choose from a range of tasks to complete such as creating fact boxes about an author or writing a diary entry in the role of a character in the story. This year, we are encouraging the children to read books recommended by the English team as well as their class teachers.
