1. School Subjects and Weekly Schedules

   In Grade 5, we talk about our weekly routines and favourite lessons using specific vocabulary for days and subjects.

   Days of the Week

   Remember that the names of days always start with a capital letter in English:

   • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (weekdays)
   • Saturday, Sunday (the weekend)
   • We use the preposition on with days: on Monday, on Friday afternoons.

   School Subjects

   Here are the common subjects we study at school:

   • Science: Doing experiments and learning about nature.
   • Maths (Mathematics): Working with numbers, shapes, and problem-solving.
   • Social Studies: Learning about history, geography, and society.
   • Physical Education (PE): Doing sports and physical exercises.
   • Art: Drawing, painting, and creating visual projects.
   • Music: Singing and playing musical instruments.
   • Information Technology (IT): Working with computers and digital tools.

   Telling the Time for School Routines

   To understand a school timetable, we need to read and state clock times accurately.

   Basic Time Expressions

   We use at to indicate the exact time of an event or lesson:

   • O'clock: It is nine o'clock (09:00). Our English lesson starts at nine o'clock.
   • Half past: It is half past ten (10:30). Break time is at half past ten.
   • Quarter past: It is quarter past eleven (11:15). Science begins at quarter past eleven.
   • Quarter to: It is quarter to two (01:45). Art finishes at quarter to two.

   Asking and Answering About Timetables

   • When is our Maths class? — It is on Tuesday at ten o'clock.
   • What time does PE finish? — It finishes at quarter to three.
   • Which classes do we have on Thursday? — We have Social Studies, IT, and Music.

   Classroom Life: Rules, Language, and Objects

   A positive and productive classroom depends on clear rules and polite communication.

   Everyday Classroom Language

   We use polite questions and requests to communicate with our teacher and classmates:

   • May I come in? / May I open the window?
   • Can I borrow your pencil sharpener, please?
   • Excuse me, what page are we on?
   • Could you repeat that, please?

   Classroom Rules

   • Listen to your teacher carefully.
   • Raise your hand before speaking.
   • Be kind and respectful to your classmates.
   • Keep your classroom tidy and clean.
   • Bring all necessary objects (ruler, notebook, eraser, coloured pencils) to class.

   Reading and Deriving Meaning

   Read the short text below and examine the connections between time, subjects, and classroom rules.

   "Hello! My name is Selin. Today is Wednesday. My first lesson is Science at nine o'clock. We need our lab notebooks and safety goggles for our experiments. After Science, we have Maths at ten o'clock. Our Maths teacher always reminds us to raise our hands before answering. At half past twelve, we have lunch. In the afternoon, we have Art at quarter past one. I always share my coloured pencils with my desk mate, Kerem. Our last lesson is Physical Education at quarter to three, so we wear our trainers."

   Making Comparisons and Inferences

   • Morning vs. Afternoon: Selin has Science and Maths in the morning, but Art and PE in the afternoon.
   • Objects and Lessons: Safety goggles connect to Science, whereas trainers connect to PE.
   • Classroom Values: Sharing coloured pencils in Art shows kindness, and raising hands in Maths follows classroom rules.
