Year 6 English

By Claire Field - 3 Jun 2018

Hamilton offers rich and engaging English planning that covers all the Year 6 SPaG objectives, as well as developing higher-level literacy skills including comprehension and extended writing.

Flexible English Planning for Year 6

Hamilton's flexible English blocks are designed to put the teacher in control. Teaching is organised into themed blocks focussed on one or more key texts of a particular type (fiction, non-fiction or poetry). The key text or texts represent a particular genre within that text-type, for example, 'stories that raise issues', 'recounts' or 'narrative poetry'. Each block comprises a small number of units that can be used independently or as a set that builds progressively towards an extended piece of writing. Teachers can select the units most relevant to their Year 6 class and adjust the length of time spent on different aspects of English teaching. In addition, all of Hamilton's flexible English blocks include age-appropriate SPaG-focussed units. These units can be taught as stand-alone teaching or as part of the whole block. Find out more about how SPaG is integrated into our English blocks.
