The Curriculum

English

The children have a Guided Reading session every morning in which they read with an adult and have activities related to their book and our topic on the other days. This provides an idea of the things we do during Guided Reading.  

In Literacy this half term, we will be looking at classic stories. We will read Oliver’s Vegetables and Peter Rabbit. The children will then innovate Oliver’s Vegetables.

We will also look at instructions.

Have a look at these websites at home to improve spellings, grammar and reading.
