Year 5
Life in Year 5 is an enjoyable mix of hard work, friendship and being a good disciple, in line with our Gospel Values and Catholic Social Teaching.
In addition to regular participation at Mass, together with other services at Church, we are are given the opportunity to conduct and lead our own prayer services. The Prayer Focus is a focal point of our classroom, dressed in accordance to the colours and meaning of the liturgical seasons.
As well as daily work in Mathematics and English, we have a wide curriculum to stretch and challenge us. Homework is set each week.
There is always great interest in our subjects and our creativity allows us to experience a broad, balanced curriculum. We plan and carry out our own experiments in Science. During our History lessons we study the Saxons and Vikings, the Maya and we learn about the incredible contribution that the Windrush Generation had on our country. We enjoy topics like football, dance and cricket in PE and we take on leadership roles in our lessons by organising and leading warm-up and cool-down activities. In Computing we design and create games using our learning about programming and we explore spreadsheets.
All Year 5 pupils can elect to continue to learn the clarinet which we started in Year 4. Year 5 work very closely with Year 6, to ensure a smooth transition so that we reach our full potential in the final year of our school.
