Year 5 Classes - Beech and Elm

Welcome to Year 5 Class at Bushmead Primary, where children in Beech and Elm will enjoy a purposeful and supportive learning experience. Our team is committed to delivering a broad and balanced teaching year 5 curriculum, helping pupils build confidence, develop strong learning habits, and make steady progress across the year.

In maths, pupils will deepen their understanding of key number and calculation skills, strengthen reasoning, and apply learning to solve problems in familiar and unfamiliar contexts. We focus on clear explanations, regular practice, and opportunities to explain methods, so children can become more confident with the maths taught throughout Year 5.

In English, children will develop reading comprehension and vocabulary, then apply these skills through carefully structured writing. Lessons support pupils to plan, draft, and improve their work, with a strong emphasis on grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Through engaging texts and high-quality teaching, we aim to ensure every child can access the year 5 curriculum english expectations and grow as a reader and writer.
