READING

The reading curriculum in Year 5 is based on a wide range of high-quality fiction, poetry and non-fiction that the children might not necessarily choose for themselves. This provides opportunities for the children to apply their developing reading skills.Children are also given opportunities to choose their own books that will develop their personal tastes. The Year 5 reader needs to understand how perceptions can change with a different viewpoint. They consolidate their research and study skills so that they can locate and retrieve information efficiently.
WRITING
Year 5 is marked by growing confidence, control and fluency in writing fiction and non-fiction. Talking and reading continue to provide the foundation for writing. Teachers emphasise the purpose and audience for all forms of writing, encouraging the children to be adventurous wherever possible.
