Spring 2

Our next unit this Spring term is called Animal Diaries and Recounts. This is a brand new genre of writing for the children so we will be finding out what a recount is, continuing our work on past tense and conjunctions and researching an animal of our choice. By the end of the unit we will be writing our own animal diary about the animal that we researched.

Spring 1

Our next unit this Spring term is called "Monster Poems". In this unit we will be building on our learning of poetry from the autumn term. We will be reading and discussing a range of different monster themed poems, learning about statements, commands and questions and writing two monster poems of our own! 

Our first unit this half term is Stories about Dragons. We had an exciting start to our unit with some dragon sightings (see below for some picture and video evidence!) and the children now can't wait to write their dragon stories. Throughout the unit we will be doing some descriptive writing using some expanded noun phrases and we will also continue our learning on conjunctions. The unit will culminate in everyone writing their own version of the Paper Bag Princess.

Autumn 2

Our last unit in Autumn 2 is Classic Poems by Edward Lear. In this unit we will learn the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" as by the of the unit we will write our own version of this nonsense poem. We will also be doing some more learning about nouns and adjectives as well as finding out what a preposition is.

Our new unit for Autumn 2 is called Familiar Settings: Imaginary Creatures. In this unit we will be reading a variety of stories that involve imaginary creatures. We will be completing some grammar learning on expanded noun phrases and continuing our work on past tense. By the end of the unit the children will write a story based on the story "The Sand Horse". They will think of their own sand creature that comes to life and has an adventure.
