In English, we will continue to use our Pathways to Write SOW and we will be using some short film units from Literacy Shed+ to build up our independent writing portfolios.
We will focus on:
Distinguishing between the language of speech and writing and using dialogue to advance action and portray characters
Recognising vocabulary and structures for formal speech and writing, including subjunctive forms
Using passive verbs
Using semi-colons to mark boundaries between independent clauses
Using figurative language elements in our writing to create better ‘Show’ not ‘Tell’ sentences
In our Maths lessons, we will continue to develop our skills, logic and reasoning in the following areas:
- Fractions/ Decimals/ Percentages
- Ratio
- Algebra
D&T: Theme: sewing
We will be designing, making and evaluating an Easter inspired gift, which is made using various materials and fabric of different shapes. The gift must be suitable to give to a family member or close friend. Your gift must combine different shapes that are joined using a variety of techniques. It will need to be special and include themes related to Easter, which incorporates different fabric shapes, materials and other embellishments. Our final product will need to be well presented and be able to be on display in our homes.
