PRIMARY => Primary Grades => Grade 5

Welcome to Grade 5

Welcome to Grade 5 at AIS Lusaka where students and teachers work together to create an environment where all students are actively and purposefully engaged in learning. The teachers in Grade 5 are dynamic, experienced in the PYP and the school’s curriculum and dedicated to furthering the development of each student in their class. With class sizes of no more than 20, students are encouraged and supported to develop an international mindedness necessary in today’s global world.

Throughout the year, the teachers and students engage in different units of study including systems of organization including governments, the changing earth, puberty, ancient civilizations and advertising. As part of the culmination of the PYP, Grade 5 students also put on an Exhibition where they inquire into a world issue. All social studies and science topics for the year are covered within the above mentioned topics. Language arts and math are authentically incorporated into these units where possible and as stand alone subjects where overlap is difficult.

As learning is balanced between the intellectual, social and physical at AIS, students in Grade 5 also attend special classes. They receive two 45-minute sessions of Performing Arts and Physical Education each week. Visual Arts and Library meet weekly, V.A. for an hour and Library for 45 minutes. French is another vital part of the program and students attend four 45-minute French classes every week. Information Technology is scheduled for 45 minutes once a week, but other classes are added on an as needed basis depending on the work being completed.
