SUMMER TERM 2022
Reminders
ENGLISH
In Literacy we will be focusing on books related to the ancient Egyptians and continuing with grammar and SPAG. How to identify different forms of grammar in sentences. Fronted adverbials, subordinate clauses and main clauses and the different tenses and how to utilise them effectively in our writing. We will be looking at writing more poetry as well as persuasive writing and creative writing linked to our topic. We will have weekly comprehension and daily class read which will allow the children to hear and learn more complex words.
Carry on reading together!
For English, the single most important thing that you can do to help your child progress, is to hear your child read. Good readers make good writers because they are exposed to a greater variety of vocabulary, syntax, grammar and style. When you listen to your child read, there are a number of things to remember:
