Our J5 English group (5-PRIM, Fifth of Primary) is designed to build on the skills from J4 and help children use English with increasing fluency and confidence in both spoken and written communication. At this stage, children can understand and use a wide variety of vocabulary and more complex grammar, read and understand longer and more detailed texts, and write short compositions with clearer structure and richer language, while continuing to learn in a fun, engaging, and interactive way.

Who is it for?

• Children in their fifth year of Primary School, who have completed J4 or have similar experience in English.
