Syllabus Grade 5

UNIT 11 – HEALTH

1
Introduction

This syllabus contains 13 units and it is divided into 2 semesters. The focus of grade 3 is still on speaking and listening but there is more work on reading

and writing now that students have developed some literacy skills. In reading students move on from recognition and reading of words and phrases to

reading short sentences. Inwriting, they continue to copy words, phrases and sentences but also write familiar words, phrases and very short sentences on

their own. Language content extends according to the topics and moves beyond a focus on nouns and adjectives to include a range of verbs. With more

language, the activities are more varied and challenging but remain active, personalized and enjoyable. For example, students can now understand longer

and more complex stories. The main goal is the start of basic communication on every day and familiar subjects.
