Curriculum Overview

English

Reading

We are a Power of Reading school and therefore use a range of high-quality texts and strategies to facilitate our English lessons. These books are carefully chosen to expose the children to a wide range of vocabulary and to support their writing skills. We are confident that the children will find these texts highly engaging, and you will hear more about them throughout the year.

Writing

In year 5, children will engage with a wide range of writing opportunities. In autumn term, poetry, narrative and letter writing will feature alongside in-depth character analysis. Children will consolidate and expand upon their knowledge of grammar and punctuation, and work with a range of spelling rules.
