During Key Stage 2 pupils learn to change the way they speak and write to suit different purposes and audiences. They read a range of texts and respond to different layers of meaning in them. They explore the use of language in literary and non-literary texts and learn how language works. Work in speaking and listening, reading and writing is integrated. Pupils follow the National Curriculum and National Literacy Strategy for Year 5, using the Nelson English programme, although a range of other resources are used. Reading is supported by department libraries and the School Library. A range of genres is covered including:
- Novels
- Stories and poems by significant children’s writers
- Playscripts
- Concrete poetry
- Traditional stories
- Myths, legends and fables from a range of cultures and traditions
- Choral and performance poetry
- Recounts of events, activities and visits
- Observational records
- News reports
