Grade 5 is the middle year of Upper Primary. Topics from Grade 4 come back again, so time spent on the topics your child found hard in Terms 1 to 3 pays off in Grade 6.
A simple holiday plan for Grade 5
| What | How much | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects each day | 2 subjects, about 1 hour each | Short sessions are easier to keep up than a long day of revision. |
| Practice paper | 1 timed paper a week | Phone out of the room. It shows what your child really remembers. |
| Rest | 1 full rest day a week | Rest is part of learning. |
The 2027 school year is reported to open on Monday 4 January 2027 (Ministry calendar, as reported on 3 November 2026). Read our guide: School calendar 2027 Kenya: term dates.

How should my child revise in the December holiday?
Keep it light and regular. Do two subjects a day, about one hour each. Do one timed practice paper a week with the phone out of the room. Take one full rest day a week. Steady practice beats long cramming sessions.
When do schools reopen after the December holiday?
The Ministry of Education's 2027 calendar, as reported by Teachers Arena, Education News and Education News Hub on 3 November 2026, has schools reopening on Monday 4 January 2027. We have not seen the circular itself, so check with your child's school.
