Spring 1

English

This half term, we will share poems together and discuss our opinions, giving reasons for our choices. We will perform our innovated poems for each other and Mrs Davison. Along with this, we will continue to share stories together, identifying and discussing the main characters and events and making predictions about what we think will happen. We will write stories based on familiar plots using similar openings and endings.  Please continue to help your child at home by reading a range of poems and stories together.

We used small world props to help us innovate our poems.
