Primary 5

Welcome to P5 2025-26

Hi Everyone!

We’re excited to kick off what’s sure to be a fantastic year in P5! There’s so much to look forward to — new things to learn, fun activities to enjoy, and exciting places to visit.

We'll begin the term by settling into our classroom, getting to know our teacher, and learning our new routines. In Numeracy, we’ll be working on our times tables, place value, counting up to 9999, and telling the time. In Literacy, we'll focus on spelling, reading, writing, and grammar.

We’ll also be heading out on some exciting trips this year — including visits to the Ulster Museum and W5!

We can’t wait to share all the fun and learning ahead. Be sure to check back in our gallery to see photos of us hard at work and to read about our year.

Mr. Gibson & Mrs. Forrest
