In Prathom 5 the children continue to follow the UK National Literacy Strategy. In Language Arts the children cover a wide range of genres and explore poems, novels and stories by significant children’s writers. Play-scripts are written and acted out for classmates. The children learn to write persuasively often using a cross-circular theme. Recounts, news reports and instructional texts are the focus of non-fiction work   

     Mathematics follows the UK National Numeracy Strategy for Year 6. Wherever possible, these topics are related to solving real-life, practical problems.

     In Science the children look at Life Cycles, Changing States, Habitats and Friction. They learn the importance of testing ideas using evidence from systematic observation and measurement. The children use an increasingly wide range of reference sources and communicate findings using ICT in an appropriate way.

     Theme Studies covers a range of historical and geographical topics both local and international. The areas of historical study cover the Indus Valley civilisation and life in Victorian Britain. The children look at archaeological evidence to make insights and draw conclusions about how everyday people lived in the past. Geographical topics examine man’s affect on the environment and how this is presented in the media. The children are encouraged to start forming their own opinions and express them orally and in written form.

    Physical Education and Art are both taught by specialist teachers.
