Training content

Delegates explored the key messages from the reading framework and considered the impact this has on the planning and teaching of reading in Year 5. They shared with colleagues how reading is taught in their setting and identified next steps within their own practice.

Delegates developed an understanding of end Key Stage 2 (KS2) expectations in writing and considered the key teaching points from the National Curriculum so that the teaching of writing is appropriately pitched in Year 5. They unpicked the key messages from Ofsted’s English Subject Report and reviewed areas for development for their pupils, including the teaching of spelling. Training was delivered on the teaching of dialogue within narrative writing.

Delegates had the opportunity to hear from another Southampton school about their approach to teaching writing in Year 5. Teachers had time to explore colleagues’ books so that best practice was shared across Year 5 teachers within the city.
