English

 

Spring 2 2024

In Year 3 English sessions, we take the time to focus on and master key skills for writing from the Year 3 curriculum. Each day, your child will practise a key skill and then complete a piece of writing where the skill should be embedded. This half term we will be looking at two fantastic writing texts; 'The Last Garden' by Rachel Ip and 'Escape from Pompeii' by Christina Balit.

 

For the first text (The Last Garden), for genres and outcomes, the children will explore own version extended narrative, setting descriptions, advertisement/posters, retelling of stories, instructional flyers, social media updates and dialogue.

The second text explores setting descriptions, information reports, dialogues and own versions of historical narratives.
