There are four terms in year 5 English, including:
- Term 1: Informative Texts — Students explore their purpose, structure and language techniques that are commonly used.

They will have opportunities to research facts to create pieces of writing that inform and instruct an audience.
- Term 2: Meaning —Students focus on developing reading comprehension strategies in order to gain a deeper understanding when viewing texts. This includes identifying themes and issues within texts, recognising a point of view and justifying interpretations by referring to their own knowledge, values and experiences. Students will identify and practice asking literal, inferential and evaluative questions with a focus on visual literacy and reading comprehension
- Term 3: Persuasive Texts — This term, students focus on persuasive writing and giving effective presentations. They learn about types of persuasive texts, how to structure their work and support it with evidence, and how to give an effective speech.
