YEAR 5
By the end of year five each child will have had access to the following skills in the following areas:
LITERACY
Speaking and Listening
The students will be able to:
- talk and listen confidently in a wide range of contexts, including some that are of a formal nature. Their talk engages the interest of the listener as they begin to vary their expression and vocabulary
- listen carefully, making contributions and asking questions that are responsive to the ideas and views. Use appropriately most of the features of standard English vocabulary and grammar
- pay close attention to what others say, ask questions to develop ideas and make contributions that take account of the views of others.
- begin to use standard English in formal situations
- adapt their talk to the demands of different contexts with increasing confidence.
Reading
The students will be able to:
- show understanding of a range of texts, selecting essential points and using inference and deduction where appropriate. In their responses, identify key features, themes and characters, and select sentences, phrases and relevant information to support their views
- retrieve and collate information from a range of sources
- discuss a range of texts, identify different layers of meaning and comment on their significance and effect.
Writing
The students will be able to:
- use full stops, capital letters and question marks correctly
- write using a handwriting style which is fluent, joined and legible
- write varied and interesting pieces , conveying meaning clearly in a range of forms for different readers, using a more formal style where appropriate
- spell words with complex regular patterns correctly
- make vocabulary choices which are imaginative where words are used precisely. Simple and complex sentences are organised into paragraphs
- use a range of punctuation, including commas, apostrophes and inverted commas, accurately.
NUMERACY
Using and Applying Mathematics
The students will be able to:
- develop their own strategies for solving problems and use these strategies in mathematics and in applying mathematics to practical contexts.
- present information and results in a clear and organised way, explaining the reasons for their presentation. Search for a pattern by trying ideas of their own.
- carry through tasks and solve mathematical problems; identify and obtain necessary information; they check their results, considering whether these are sensible.
- show understanding of situations by describing them mathematically using symbols, words and diagrams.
- make general statements of their own, based on evidence they have produced and give an explanation of their reasoning.
- carry through substantial tasks and solve quite complex problems by breaking them into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Number and Algebra
The students will be able to:
- use their understanding of place value to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100 and 1000
- order, add and subtract negative numbers in context, and use all four operations with decimals to two places
- calculate fractional or percentage parts of quantities and measurements, using a calculator when appropriate. Understand and use an appropriate non-calculator method for solving problems that involve multiplying and dividing any three-digit and two digit-number
- check their solutions by applying inverse operations or estimating using approximations. Construct, express in symbolic form and use simple formulae involving one or two operations
- recognise approximate proportions of a whole and use simple fractions and percentages to describe these. Explore and describe these. Explore and describe number patterns, and relationships including multiple, factor and square
- begin to use simple formulae expressed in words. Use and interpret co-ordinates in the first quadrant
Space and Shape
The students will be able to:
- measure and draw angles to the nearest degree, and use language associated with angle when constructing models, drawing or using shapes. Identify all the symmetries of 2-D shapes
- use the rough metric equivalents of imperial units still in daily use and convert one metric unit to another. Make sensible estimates of a range of measures in relation to every situation
- find perimeters of simple shapes, find areas by counting squares, and find volumes by counting cubes
- recognise and use common 2-D representations of 3-D objects
Handling Data
The students will be able to:
- compare two simple distributions, using the range and one of the measures of average
- interpret graphs and diagrams, including pie charts, and draw conclusions
- understand and use the probability scale from 0 to 1
- find and justify probabilities, and approximations to these, by selecting and using methods based on equally likely outcomes and experimental evidence, as appropriate
- understand that different outcomes may result from repeating an experiment
- collect and record continuous data, choosing appropriate equal class intervals over a sensible range.
SCIENCE
Electricity
The students will be able to:
- understand that a switch can be used to stop an electric current from flowing
- list materials which are conductors and allow electricity to flow
- understand that circuit diagrams are special ways of showing a circuit
- demonstrate that there are two ways of wiring a circuit called series and parallel.
Change
The students will be able to:
- understand that some materials burn giving heat and light
- understand that the water cycle relies on evaporation and condensation.
Plant Life
The students will be able to:
- understand that plants reproduce
- understand that plants can be harmed
- recognise that plants make their own food and this makes them different from animals.
Forces
The students will be able to:
- understand that friction is a force which slows things down
- understand that if something doesn't move, balanced forces are acting on it.
Earth and Beyond
The students will be able to:
- recognise that the Moon is a satellite of the Earth
- understand that the Earth turns completely in one day.
ART
Investigating and Making
The students will be able to:
- express ideas and feelings confidently
- experiment with and show increasing control over, a range of materials, tools and techniques
- make images and artifacts for different purposes
- reflect on and adapt their work, identifying ways in which it can be developed and improved.
Knowledge and Understanding
The students will be able to:
- use increasing vocabulary of art, craft and design terms
- modify their work in the light of what was intended
- show interest and understanding in the work of others
- identify different art forms and the work of different artists.
MUSIC
The music course in Year 5 will cover the following areas:
Melody
- create and sing melodies, lyrics and music
- melodic movement by steps, leaps and repeats
- play melodic patterns on mallet instruments
- melodic patterns
- musical vocabulary
- absolute and sol fah pitch names
- melodic rhythm and sequence
- sing in unison across a wide range of styles
- sing solos, partner songs, rounds and counter melodies.
Rhythm
- Play rhythmic ostinatos
- Steady pulse
- Develop technique in playing rhythm instruments
- Singing
- Graphic and conventional notation where relevant
- Understand and identify time signatures.
Harmony
- Sing and / or play two simultaneous melodies
- Sing and play counter melodies, rounds, partner songs, ostinatos.
Tone Colour
- Individuals and groups produce various tone qualities
- Instrumental sounds through listening
- Various uses of the voice.
Form & Structure through Listening
- mood and purpose
