Summer 1
| English | Reading | Writing |
This half term, our class texts will be 'The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs' by Jon Scieszka and ‘The Wind in the Willows,’ by Kenneth Grahame. As we study these texts, the children will be focussing on learning and applying new vocabulary from the stories. They will also be practising their ability to retrieve key information from texts, use evidence to draw inferences about characters and use evidence to support their responses to questions. | We will continue to use the Talk For Writing approach to help us write in a range of genres, including a ‘portal’ story and a thank you letter. We will begin to use commas after fronted adverbials and use different conjunctions for time and cause. This will culminate in imitating the text’s structure, innovating our versions of its grammar and vocabulary before writing our own ‘Hot Task,’. |
