English
This Spring term, our writing and reading will be inspired by two books - 'Desirable' and 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
We are focusing on developing our understanding of:
- Conjunctions - if, so, that, while, since, though, although, when and because.
- Simple, compound and complex sentences.
- Fronted adverbials and adverbial phrases.
- Apostrophes to mark possession.
- Balance between pronouns and nouns.
We will work on our spelling, grammar and punctuation daily whilst also developing our reading skills through 1-1 reading and reading comprehensions in class.
As ever, we advise parents to do as much reading with children at home as possible. It is also important to try and ask your children questions about their books.
