Year 5 Autumn 1 English Planning Unit : A Kingdom United This half term block, based around a theme of A Kingdom United, consists of two English units: Legends Persuasion Cross curricular links Although the units will stand alone, they can be planned to run alongside Geography and History work on UK cities, counties and key features and Britain’s settlement by Anglo-Saxons and Scots. The unit on legends has been chosen to fulfil the National Curriculum requirement that children in upper Key Stage 2 will increase their familiarity with a wide range of books, including myths, legends and traditional stories. Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation Skills have been specifically identified for each unit from Key Learning in Writing. The full set of units include all skills for the year group. However, if these units and/or skills are rearranged from the planned order, modifications to the identified grammar skills may be necessary. When planning, consider if the suggested skills are the most appropriate for the class or if different skills are needed based on assessments of children’s outcomes. This may involve the revisiting of skills from previous year groups. Refer to Key Learning in Writing for the year group to ensure full coverage over the year. Our English Planning Units have all recently been updated to include: new ideas and approaches for planning through the teaching sequence phases with more detailed guidance on reading and gathering content phases; updated suggestions of texts, direct links to specific film clips and resources within every unit; a tighter focus on grammar skills via warm-up sessions and integration within units; increased emphasis on vocabulary for reading and writing; further short and longer writing opportunities built into each unit; and updated outcome suggestions for scaffolded writing whilst highlighting the need for independent writing for assessment purposes.
