IAA Primary Curriculum Guide Grade 5 Term 2
Welcome to Term 2 During the term break, your child has had the opportunity to reflect upon and absorb the skills they have learned in the first term. This term we will build on the Literacy and Numeracy skills while ensuring that we cover a broad and balanced range of topics in Integrated Studies. In the pages that follow you will find the units that your child will study this term along with the expectations at the end of each unit. Not every child progresses at the same rate so please compare your child’s ability at the end of the unit to what he or she could do at the start. If you have any questions about your child’s levels of attainment, please speak to the class teacher, who is the person who know your child best of all.
Literacy We will focus on three specific genres this term: Narrative, Poetry and Non-fiction Narrative • Extending Narratives Poetry • Imagery Non-fiction • Reviewing non-fiction • Persuasion and Argument We follow the Renewed Primary Framework for England.

Homework In Primary, the day is quite intense for children working in two languages. For this reason we limit our homework to 30 minutes per day in Grade 5. We suggest: • 10 minutes - reading • 5 minutes - spelling • 15 minutes – completing homework sheet/finishing off If you would like to further consolidate this term’s work we would suggest: • www.bbc.co.uk/schools/bitesize • www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk We also suggest the CGP books: • www.cgpbooks.co.uk
