CLASS 5

Ages 10-11

Class Five children begin to show their intellectual abilities, flexibility and creativity. In this “Golden Age” of childhood, full of questions, children dive enthusiastically into subjects. Geography expands to cover the British Isles with a focus on rivers and plant biology. Ancient Greece is explored through History, mathematics and performing arts and athletics as part of a national, Stener Waldorf Olympic Games event, the Olympiad. The Class 5 experience consolidates children’s confidence and excitement in their abilities and skills.

“The Olympiad was amazing. I had the opportunity to try new things, made new friends and I surprised myself by taking part in the marathon.”
