Termly curriculum overview

Parent information

Our reading and writing this term will be linked to: 

The Iron Man
&

Letters to Santa 

 In English and Guided Reading, we will be reading The Iron Man.  The children will learn to write effectively to retell a story and will structure their writing well. They will also continue to build upon and use correct punctuation. Towards the second part of the half term, pupils will write to engage the reader through detail or word choice and confidently apply adventurous language choices appropriate to the style and purpose of the text.

Reading

We recommend your child reads 5 times a week with an adult. This should be recorded in your reading record. 

Please send your child into school with their reading record, individual reading book and library book every day!

See below for some ideas on how to engage your child in reading and support their reading comprehension...

We use reading Vipers to develop the children's comprehension skills. See document below...
