English Curriculum for the Spring Term. As Resilient Readers, we will be sharing a
variety of texts about ‘Food’. We will
look at simple recipes. As Writers, we
will make our own instructional texts about different types of food. After half term, we will be focussing on
‘Stories from other Cultures’. We will
develop our storytelling skills using Pie Corbett’s words and actions. We will
continue to learn to read and write our sounds.
Please help your child to practise these by using the phoneme mat in the
back of their Reading Record and continue to practise the words in their Word
Pouch. A Library Book and Reading Book
will be sent home weekly. Weekly Spellings,
Maths and English homework challenges will continue. Your
help and support with reading and spelling is invaluable. Our
English curriculum SFA (Success for All) will continue. This skills-based curriculum helps to develop
the children’s reading and comprehension skills, basic grammar, phonics and spelling,
and encourages co-operative learning.
