Four Year 5 English lessons covering the upper Key Stage 2 core: reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and grammar and punctuation. Each editable deck models the skill with quality examples before pupils practise it, keeping the teaching sequence tight enough to present without extra preparation.

Objectives come from the Years 5 and 6 programme of study in the England National Curriculum: providing reasoned justifications for views about reading, proposing changes to vocabulary, grammar and punctuation to enhance effects, using a thesaurus, and using hyphens to avoid ambiguity. Year 5 is where pupils begin writing with genuine authorial control, so the decks push discussion of effect and intent rather than feature-spotting.

Adapt anything in Chalkie: swap the extracts for your class text, regenerate the sentence examples, or add a slide of your pupils' own writing to evaluate together. These Year 5 English lessons keep the curriculum thinking done for you while leaving the personality of the lesson to you.
