Year 5 Swallows

Welcome to Swallow Class!

Welcome to the Swallow Class page. Year 5 is the start of Upper Key Stage Two, meaning that we will be focusing on lots of skills to prepare ourselves for our final year in primary school.

In Swallow Class we will particularly focus on developing our independent critical thinking skills as well as becoming more reflective and evaluative of our own work. In Mathematics we will be problem solving with increasingly more challenging multi-step questions that will require resilience, adaptability and determination – skills all taught through our power maths sequence of learning. We will also aim to be autonomous in choosing from a variety of books that reflect our interest and ability which will influence our written work. We will continue to be critical of our grammar, punctuation and spelling as well as making informed choices as to why certain features are more suited to specific pieces of writing.
