Welcome to Year 5
In Year 5, children become more confident and independent learners as they explore a wide range of exciting topics across the curriculum.
In English, children read and enjoy a variety of texts, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry. They learn how authors use language and structure, and they develop their own writing by using a wider range of grammar and punctuation. Writing is inspired by high-quality texts, helping children write for different purposes and audiences.
In maths, children build on their knowledge of place value, and work with larger numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages. They learn how to solve more complex problems using formal written methods, while also explaining their reasoning clearly. They also explore shape, measures and data handling.
Throughout the wider curriculum, creativity, curiosity and teamwork are encouraged. Subjects such as history, science, geography, computing, PE, music and art help children develop a broad and balanced understanding of the world, all underpinned by our school values.
