This resource supports the development and progression of the vocabulary, grammar and punctuation elements of SPaG in Y5. The objectives are grouped into units which are then linked to a literacy genre so that they can be taught in a way that supports and enhances the children’s writing as well as ensure they are well prepared for the SPaG standardised test at the end of the key stage. Each unit includes detailed information about what the objectives mean and key teaching points to consider when delivering them. There are also example questions based on the KS2 SPaG test to support the discrete teaching of the objectives. The document covers all the areas detailed in the 2014 National Curriculum for Y5 as well as builds on the work the children have covered in previous year groups. It provides a more structured approach to the teaching of writing and SPaG that appeals to most pupils but particularly boys and pupils working towards the expected standard.

The SPaG objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum have been taken and organised on to one grid to make the progression of the objectives across the year groups clear. The grid also allows teachers to easily access what has already been taught so the objectives can continue to be revisited and built upon year on year. The grid could also be used as an assessment tool as to be age related, children should be able to access the objectives within their year group as well as be secure in the objectives from previous year groups. The blue objectives provide some guidance of the greater depth standard; however, in general, the children should show a greater level of security within their year group objectives taking the statements from ‘some’ to ‘most’. The children should not be taught objectives out of their year group but some may naturally apply some of the higher objectives to their writing which may also be an indication that they are starting to work within greater depth. As such, having easy access to future objectives is another usual assessment tool.

This resource teaches the children a variety of ways to use dashes effectively in their work from linking lists to main clauses; showing interruption or a change of thought in speech; and extending a main clause with an example, afterthought or explanation. The challenge then tests their understanding by seeing if they are able to identify when it is appropriate to use a dash and when they should be using a hyphen.

This resource builds on the children’s knowledge of 1st and 3rd person and the different verb forms that they will need in order to achieve the objective.

The challenge then really ensures that they understand the objective by asking them to identify common conversion errors and correct them.

This resource teaches the children how to use the 5 relative pronouns, including the more complex pronouns ‘whose’ and ‘whom’.
