Welcome to Primary 5!

Our teacher is Miss Porter and our learning support assistants are Miss McBride, Miss Farren, Miss Coyle and Miss Quant. This is an exciting year, the beginning of Key Stage 2. It's the year when children really start to become independent learners; using and developing all the skills they've been taught in previous years.

They will be expected to become more responsible for getting themselves organised for school - to have all the books and things they need to bring packed and ready each morning.

In Primary 5 children will be expected to know all number bonds to 20 and will be learning the times tables up to 12. This needs a lot of practising at home, every night if possible.

Most Primary 5 pupils are already independent readers but all children benefit greatly from being encouraged to read and discussing books with an adult.
