Reading

This week we will be continuing to look at the story Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers. We will be developing our understanding of discussions, learning how to share ideas, listen to others, and respect different viewpoints. The children will focus on identifying the key message by re-reading parts of the text and deciding what the speaker is mainly trying to say. They will also practise summarising by spotting the most important points and will explore how we can show acceptance, kindness and respect in our everyday lives.

 

Please continue to read daily with your child at home and record this in their reading record so we can support and monitor their progress.

Writing
This week, the children have started a new unit of work, Writing Stories with Familiar Settings. They have been learning about nouns and adjectives and using these to describe different settings in their writing. Next week, they will build on this by planning their own narrative using a writing frame and focusing on sequencing sentences clearly to tell a story.
