Summer Term Curriculum information:

 English:  

This term we will be learning how to write action stories using The Lion King as our inspiration. 

We are learning to use: 

·         

Tools for this unit:

  • Choose verbs that have emotion. 
  • Add detail to how the character moves by adding in an adverb, e.g. she tiptoed quietly
  • Use similes to create atmosphere, eg The trees lined the streets like an army.
  • Use a range of dramatic fronted adverbials to advance the action, e,g. At that moment,….Suddenly…Unfortunately…

Other key teaching points (eg SPaG focus)

  • Apostrophes for possession and contraction
  • Recap speech – new line for each speaker, begin to identify/use

 

·      

 Cursive Handwriting 

Continue to support children to join their handwriting. 

Three lessons per week will be taught using a planned sequence of letter families.

This term we will continue our Little Wandle Spelling units.

Small group catch-up phonics sessions will continue for any children that require extra time to secure their phonics knowledge. 

Guided Reading sessions 

 

Children will have whole class reading sessions 3 times a week. 

These sessions take extracts from well known texts and explore reading for fluency and understanding (comprehension)
