Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Year 5 is made up of three classes of mixed gender and ability. Each class has a form teacher and a form room (right at the top of the school - keeping us fit when we climb the stairs!). This is our base and we spend most of our time here, keeping all our belongings here (tidily of course) in our desks. All three of our classrooms are fitted with interactive whiteboards and video and we have some great displays. We spend about 50% of our time with our form teachers, travelling around the school to specialist teachers for the rest.

We have 45 lessons of 35 minutes each week. These include English and maths (for which we are set by ability), science, geography, history and religious studies. We also spend a double each week doing art, design technology and home economics (a favourite day for the parents as we bring home tasty treats!). Each week we spend two lessons in the state of the art ICT suite, learning and also applying our computing skills. Eight lessons are devoted to games, P.E. and swimming, four to learning French, two for music and one for PSHE. Each week we meet as a year group for form time. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to share great work and receive congratulations and certificates for various achievements.
