Y5 Preparation & Transition

View our Transition Year 5 2020 doc

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.
• Develop a strong moral sense of right and wrong and become increasingly concerned with fairness. 

During Year 5 we hope that the children will be able to…

• Punctuate sentences accurately, without prompting, with full stop and capital letter as a minimum.
• Be able to tie shoe laces, top buttons and ties independently.
• Take care of own equipment – not losing pencils, rulers, coats, trainers etc.
• Remember homework, PE kit, swimming kit and water bottles on correct day, without support from parents.
• Tidy up after themselves and work together to look after the classroom environment.
• Support and encourage classmates, showing respect to others.
• Begin to show resilience in challenging situations.
• Actively participate in all lessons.
