Our English texts will include fiction texts (written and visual) which we will use to explore genre, punctuation, sentence and text structure.

In whole class reading lessons we will study the text The Case of the London Dragon Fish by Joan Lennon.

Reading skills will be further developed, including fluency, literal retrieval skills and inferential skills. Encouraging your child to read at home, and to enjoy sharing stories will help to develop a lifelong love of reading - whether it is a school book, magazine, graphic novel, online news or anything else that is age appropriate! Enjoy!

In writing, we will focus on developing sentence structure using Rainbow Grammar, and enhancing vocabulary including through dictionary skills. We will continue learning Year 3 and Year 4 Read Write Inc. spellings this half term. Children will have 10 spellings to learn linked to the weekly spelling theme.

As the days get longer and spring arrives, we will have a fantastic Spring 2!

Many thanks, 

Mr Kelly
