Junior School Subject Spotlight: English – Year 5

Oral Language

Students engage in discussions, debates, and collaborative storytelling, considering different viewpoints.

Reading

They compare texts, identify what is included or excluded, and evaluate perspectives. Reading for pleasure is emphasised, with choice playing an important role.

Writing

Students write longer, more organised texts for different purposes. They develop their own voice, using precise vocabulary and varied sentence structures.
