6. English Key objectives for Year 5
By the end of year 5, we would like your child to be an independent, creative writer.
Add phrases to make sentences more precise and detailed
Use a range of sentence openers – judging the impact or effect needed
Indicate degrees of possibility using adverbs (e.g. perhaps, surely) or modal verbs (e.g. might, should, will)
Use commas to clarify meaning or avoid ambiguity
Link clauses in sentences using a range of subordinating and coordinating conjunctions
Use verb phrases to create subtle differences (e.g. she began to run)
Consistently organise writing into paragraphs
Link ideas across paragraphs using adverbials of time (e.g. later), place (e.g. nearby) and number (e.g. secondly)
We teach English in year 5 by using a variety of stimulus, such as quality texts and picture books, video clips, songs, poems, animation.
During the year some of the exciting opportunities will be to create a film, to write stories, make a radio clip, produce leaflets and letters. We try to make writing meaningful and purposeful.

9. Homework Expectations
Mathletics is our online Maths homework tool. This year we will alternate our homeworks with the Home School Maths book. If your child requires additional support, in Maths, they will be given Mathletics every week.
Daily reading is still important and children are given a rule or set of spellings each week to learn – they can be as creative as they like!
Class homework should be completed weekly. The children can choose a task from the homework grid.
Pre-learning vocabulary will be provided as needed during the year. These are words that your child will hear at school and could be discussed at home.
