Writing & Reading
All our writing lessons link to our class book and our half term topic, in order to make them as stimulating as we can. We will be covering several different genres over the year. Within our writing, we will be developing our grammar skills. We will be practicing using more descriptive language, such as adjectives, expanded noun phrases, similes and looking a different sentence types. The children will also be taught how to select different vocabulary choices and punctuation, to make their writing more imaginative and fun to read.
Our whole class guided reading book is 'The Thieves of Ostia' By Caroline Lawrence. We will look at the vocabulary, answer a range of comprehension questions using VIPERS and develop skills in fluency. Moving through the chapters weekly and immersing ourselves into the book.
