Let's Go: Magical Adventures Await!
with Mrs Falvey and Mrs Barber
English
In English, we will be using the Story Box approach, which children first encountered in Early Years, to explore themes of our texts.
The Story Box ritual is drama-rich and engages leaners through provocations, requiring deep thinking, with a focus on raising the profile of oracy.
This half term, we will be using 'Old Bear' to write a finder narrative.
Reading diaries and reading books will now be collected in on MONDAY and new books given out on Mondays. Thank you for supporting your child with their five reads. The new books are designed to ensure children have a sound understanding of their phonics and have the opportuity to discuss new vocabulary with you.
