Summer 1
English | Reading | Writing |
This half term we will continue to use our Talk For Writing model texts to help us read as a writer, including The Magic Faraway Tree to write a story and a letter. Our class text will be ‘The Wind in the Willows,’ by Kenneth Grahame as our classic literary text. As we study these texts, the children will 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,’. |
