Words Passed Down: Year 5 English Curriculum

Is your child ready to say more, explain more, and think more deeply about their writing?

Words Passed Down: Year 5 builds on the foundations from Year 4 and takes your child a step further. This year, they begin writing with more detail, stronger vocabulary, and clearer structure. They will learn to describe scenes more vividly, explain ideas, write simple biographies, and begin giving reasons for their opinions. Alongside this, your child starts to think more carefully about language and meaning. With clear guidance throughout, you can support them calmly as they grow in confidence, clarity, and expression.
