Welcome to Year 5

The year 5 class is led by Mr Holt and Mrs Pryor, supported by Mrs Martin. 

In Year 5, the children follow the National Curriculum. English sessions are taught through the Talk for Writing approach. Children’s reading and writing will develop through reading, analysing and responding to high-quality texts. Maths sessions follow the White Rose Maths teaching sequences and progressions. Mastery of maths through practical, pictorial and abstract experiences will ensure children have the deepest understanding possible.

Years offers a broad range of exciting and progressive learning activities. Our topics will be:

Autumn Term – Dynamic Dynasties

Spring Term – Sow, Grow and Farm

Summer Term – Groundbreaking Greeks

Children read for 30 minutes daily and their reading progress is tracked through the Accelerated Reader software. After reading a text that’s suitably challenging, the children take quizzes to check their understanding of the book they’ve read. The software then recommends a new, suitable book for them
