Summer 2 2023

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; 'Cloud Tea Monkeys' and 'Nen and the Lonely Fishermen.'

 

 

In this unit for Cloud Tea Monkeys we will:

. Experience an immersive session where we smell and taste a range of different teas before creating descriptive statements to describe a tea.
. Explore language activities to stimulate grammatical development and reading comprehension skills.
. Write letters of thanks to the monkeys.
. Research, plan and then write a non-chronological report on tea, the tea-trade and traditions relating to tea.

In the unit for Nen and the Lonely Fishermen we will:

. explore and discuss a treasure chest of mysterious objects to support us in making predictions about the story.

. Explore the text through a range of tasks which include reading skills, book talk, explicit grammar teaching in context, vocabulary building and shorter written outcomes.

. Make predictions and explore the themes of the text, before developing their understanding of the characters to support them to write a character description in the form of a lonely-hearts advert.

. Infer characters’ thoughts and feelings through freeze-framing, thought bubbles and diary entries.

. Explore how to use language to change atmosphere and create deeper imagery through the use of different descriptive literary techniques.

. Writing our own version of Nen and the Lonely Fisherman, with twists to the original plot and characters and making comparisons to the traditional tale The Little Mermaid.
