Literacy

This term, we are enjoying fictional recounts in the form of diary entries. This will lead us to develop an understanding of the differences and similarities between formal and informal language. 

Additionally, we will study in which contexts formal and informal language are used. For example, a letter to your MP vs postcard to your friend.

This year, one of our main priorities is reading. Our Class Reads take place at the end of the school day. We will listen to a variety of authors and this term, will focus on Roald Dahl. We will use his books in our guided reading sessions, where we will work together to understand the text using our comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and memory skills.
