Year 5

Y5 Preparation & Transition

What do we hope children can do as learners before Y5?

• Start to have a longer attention span.
• Become more interested in the world around them and find out how things work.
• Start to deal with frustrations and conflicts in a more mature way
• Develop more self-control, being able to recover from mood swings or outbursts more quickly
• Punctuate sentences accurately, without prompting, with full stop and capital letter as a minimum
• Remember homework, PE kit, swimming kit and water bottles on correct day, without support from parents
• Support and encourage classmates, showing respect to others
• Begin to show resilience in challenging situations
• Actively participate in all lessons.
