Welcome to Grade 5 & 6

Right before everything changes.

Year 5 and 6 students are caught in a particular tension, old enough to find things embarrassing, young enough that the right lesson can still genuinely move them. This curriculum is designed for that window: activities worth their time, reflection that doesn't feel childish, and a weekly structure they'll come to rely on. Watch the welcome video first. Two minutes that'll change how you introduce this to the class on day one.
