English
In Year 5 English learners progress toward more advanced reading comprehension, complex sentence structures, and a strong focus on technical grammar and punctuation. Our curriculum supports children to become independent writers and critical readersThe English curriculum includes:
Reading: word reading and comprehension
Writing: transcription (including spelling and handwriting) and composition
Writing: vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
Spoken Language
At Hatton Hill, we place a very high focus on reading - both within our curriculum and for pleasure. Each classroom has its own designated reading area and at the end of each day, children gather together to enjoy a story together.
Handwriting is taught following 'letter-join'. Parents will receive informatiion explaining how to access handwriting games and activities at home.
Please visit your child's class page for more information and suggested reading books for Year 5 children.
Our Intent and Impact (I&I) sheets below list the questions we want children to be able to answer once they have completed their learning. They also highlight key vocabulary which children must learn.
