Year 5 is taught by Mrs De La Bedoyere

In Year 5, the focus is on becoming independent learners, developing good team work skills and relationships with our peers and having tremendous fun whilst learning. Our Year 5 class begin to look at getting ready for SATs in Year 6 and even begin some high school preparation. 

A typical day in Year 5 starts with a structured morning routine, beginning with Maths and then moving into the Teaching of Reading followed by daily assembly. After play is English and the afternoons are dedicated to topic, sports, learning outdoors and creativity. Afternoon lessons are active, dynamic and innovative.

We enjoy beginning a topic with a ‘Sizzling Starter’ to introduce us to the topics. We cover topics such as Dynamic Dynasties learning about China, growing and farming, map work in Geography and ancient Greeks. We also take part in RE days every half term developing our knowledge of different religious festivals around the world. 

Our Year 5 class have their PE day on a Tuesday. 

On a Friday afternoon, our Year 5 class have an amazing outdoor learning session where they are able to gain experience of fire making, den building and water filtration among many other fantastic survival skills.
