🌻 WELCOME TO YEAR 5 🌻
Our Year 5 class teachers are Mr Pietrzak & Miss Youngson (5PY) and Miss Johnson (5J). Our teaching assistants are Mrs Mubarik and Miss Bibi. A key part of Year 5 is to encourage independence, both at home and at school, in preparation for Year 6. Children are streamed into two ability groups for Maths and English, allowing for focus on the needs of the individual.
We believe that the best learning takes place when children are happy, safe and stimulated. We endeavour to teach, whenever possible, a practical and multi-sensory approach which is accessible to all. Peer support and guidance is also a vital attribute that develops throughout this year.
Year 5 will need their PE kit on _ & _.
MATHS OVERVIEW
Every maths lesson begins with a mental arithmetic starter, recapping previously taught content and skills.
The lessons are then taught in unit blocks, which build on one another.
Every unit has the opportunity for children to become fluent in a skill before applying their knowledge to a variety of problems and reasoning questions.
We follow the White Rose Maths scheme of learning.
ENGLISH OVERVIEW
At the heart of our English planning, teaching and learning, we use high quality and age appropriate texts.
⬅️ You can see the books we will study in Year 5 on the left!
The teaching of grammar is explicit and contextualised to the book children are reading. Explicit teaching of reading comprehension is part of the teaching sequence and daily English lessons.
Children in Year 5 are taught to write complete compositions with increased independence. We aim to use modelled and shared teaching approaches throughout the teaching sequences to support all children's learning.
Spelling and handwriting are taught discreetly and are planned for as part of the lesson.
If you would like to see the writing outcomes for Year 5, follow the link below to the Writing Page.
SCIENCE OVERVIEW
Every science lesson begins with a vocabulary starter, recapping previously taught content and scientific skills.
The lessons are then taught in unit blocks, which build on one another.
Every unit has the opportunity for children to build on and develop their abilities as a scientist.
We follow the White Rose Science scheme of learning.
FOUNDATION SUBJECT OVERVIEW
At Chandos, we recognise that our children learn best when learning is linked, therefore we have designed a curriculum where History, Geography, Art and D&T link wherever possible.
Children will have the opportunity to learn new skills and knowledge across these subjects, building on and recapping them every year.
Children begin and end every learning challenge with a big question. The topic then unfolds as the children work to uncover the answer to the big question and ultimately create a final response to it such as a piece of writing, a project or art work.
