Autumn 2
| English | Reading | Writing |
We will be using four different texts to drive our reading lessons this half term.
| This half term we will continue to use Talk for Writing to support the children’s writing. We will be using three different texts and learning these stories to support our understanding of story creation: Hansel and Gretel, The Three Little Pigs and Poetry. We will continue to focus on writing simple sentences that start with a capital letter, use finger spaces between words and a full stop at the end. We will also continue to practise using our phonics when writing. |
