Year 5 is all about… • Developing as Frimley LEARNERS. • Work hard to achieve the best they can through being more resilient and persevering. • Taking more responsibility and becoming more independent and organised in their learning. • Becoming more self-aware • Having a positive growth mind-set
Timetable (incl. Enrichment am/pm) An example of a weekly timetable.
Enrichment Is now be made up of 4 lessons: • Swimming - Mrs Romp/Mrs Elson • Computing - Mrs Doe • Performing Arts - Mrs Curtis • Creative learning - Mrs Chappelow
Enrichment Your child will have their Enrichment time every Tuesday. During Autumn 1 it will be in the afternoon, then it will move to the morning time in Autumn 2. The year group has been split into 4 classes. Each class will do 2 subjects in one half term then the other 2 subjects during the next half of the term. This gives children more time for each subject.
Topics this year… Autumn 1 – Curious Creatures Autumn 2 – Adventurers Spring 1 – Innovators Spring 2 – Star Gazers Summer 1 – Star Gazers Summer 2 – Traders and Raiders
Non-negotiables These are used to ensure children know what is expected from them within their learning for the year and form part of their next steps. They help the children to consistently apply learning they have previously covered in earlier years. They support with ‘gap filling’.

Frimley Learner Passport Children work towards becoming an Ultimate Frimley Learner by demonstrating the different attributes inside and outside of school. With the teacher, they sign off when they feel they have achieved a particular task. When they have had 5 activities signed off (in an attribute) by their teacher/LSA/member of staff then they take the passport home to complete an activity at home (to demonstrate the learner attribute). This is then signed off by a parent/carer. At this stage, children present their booklet to Mrs Wright to be awarded their attribute certificate. When all attributes have been completed, the child earns the Ultimate Frimley Learner badge.
