Year 5

'Our aim is to prepare children for the future and for lifelong learning in a diverse and everchanging world with opportunities as well as challenges.'

Mathematics

At Hatchell Wood, we use the National Curriculum and the accredited White Rose Maths to structure the long term and medium term overview of our mathematics teaching.

The vast majority of children are taught in their own year groups, in mixed abilities. In every year group, concepts are taught using concrete resources, moving on to pictorial methods before developing abstract working. This approach means that most children can access the same learning while building a solid understanding. Where appropriate, some children have a personalised curriculum. All children are given an equal opportunity to achieve to their highest potential.

As well as discrete maths lessons, children also consolidate their understanding during topic lessons and through daily Maths Meetings which include key mathematical facts.

English

At Hatchell Wood, we believe that every pupil has the right to be able to read, write and communicate with others effectively. English is the main medium through which the rest of the curriculum is learned and taught and a major way in which children interpret the world around them, develop knowledge and understanding and communicate with other people. The teaching of English, in all of its forms, has a high profile within the school.

Writing 

We teach writing using the 'Pathways the Write' approach and over the year we cover six different texts. Within each unit, pupils focus on previously taught writing skills (Gateway Keys) and are then taught national curriculum expectations through the use of Mastery Keys and Feature Keys. The Keys are repeated, practiced and applied in new contexts in preparation for the ‘Writeaway’ at the end of each unit.

The six texts we cover are:

Grammar and Punctuation

At Hatchell Wood, we use the National Curriculum to structure the long term and medium term overview of our spelling and grammar teaching.

Spelling

At our school, spelling is taught using the Purple Mash scheme of work, which is fully aligned with the expectations of the National Curriculum. This structured approach builds upon the secure phonics knowledge acquired in the early years and Key Stage 1, and supports pupils as they progress through Key Stage 2.

Spelling is taught through weekly lessons that incorporate a range of approaches to support learning and retention. These include direct teaching of spelling rules and patterns, exploration of word origins, and links to phonics knowledge. Lessons also include focused spelling quizzes and activities such as Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check (LSCWC) to reinforce learning. This multi-faceted approach ensures pupils develop a deep understanding of spelling and can apply their knowledge confidently and accurately across all areas of the curriculum.

Reading

For our Reading lessons, we use Pathways to Read. This links in with our writing and gives children access to a wide range of quality texts. We work on developing vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills including inference, prediction, explaining, retrieval and sequencing. In year 5, the texts that we cover are:
