COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Year 5 Core Course is the foundation upon which your child's  learning is built upon. The teacher guides the students through each  of the following subjects, ensuring they understand the topics and  cover any questions they may have. These subjects include:

  • Mathematics 

  • English / Reading

  • Writing

  • Thinking Skills

These subjects form the key learning areas for all primary students and are the main course offered Mr Paul's Tutoring.

Maths: Our Year 5 mathematics curriculum provides students with an in-depth exploration of advanced mathematical concepts. Topics covered include geometry, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra, and data analysis. Through interactive lessons, students not only master the foundational principles but also engage in higher-order thinking through problem-solving and real-world applications. Our dedicated instructors guide students in developing a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, ensuring they are well-equipped for the challenges of upper-level mathematics and beyond.

English: Our Year 5 English curriculum is crafted to enhance language proficiency and foster a love for literature. Students will delve into a diverse range of literary genres, including fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Emphasis is placed on developing advanced reading comprehension skills, critical analysis, and effective written communication. Through engaging activities, discussions, and creative writing exercises, students not only expand their vocabulary and grammatical knowledge but also cultivate the ability to express themselves articulately. Our goal is to instil a lifelong appreciation for language and literature, preparing students for academic success and effective communication in the future.

Writing: Our Year 5 writing curriculum is designed to nurture and refine students' expressive abilities. Throughout the course, students will explore various writing styles, including narrative, persuasive, and informative writing. Emphasis is placed on refining organizational skills, sentence structure, and creativity. Interactive activities and writing prompts encourage students to develop their unique voice and hone their storytelling skills. With a focus on constructive feedback, our writing lessons provide a supportive environment for students to build confidence in their writing capabilities, preparing them for more advanced writing challenges in the future.

Thinking Skills: Our Thinking Skills curriculum for students is designed to cultivate critical and creative thinking abilities. Through a variety of engaging activities and exercises, students develop problem-solving techniques, analytical reasoning, and decision-making skills. The curriculum encourages students to think independently and approach challenges with a strategic mindset. We focus on fostering curiosity, adaptability, and effective communication, equipping students with the cognitive tools necessary for success in academics and beyond. This is a component of the Selective Placement Test and Opportunity Class Placement Test.
