Class Dojo is a great way for us to keep in touch with you. We post regular photos of the work we have been doing in school.
There is also the option for you to upload things you've been doing at home to your child's portfolio. It's always great to see what you've been up to!
English
In English, we will be using the Story Box approach, which children first encountered in Early Years, to explore themes of our texts.
The Story Box ritual is drama-rich and engages leaners through provocations, requiring deep thinking, with a focus on raising the profile of oracy.
This half term, we will be using 'Through the Fairy Door' to support our writing.
Writng outcomes:

Letter writing.
Oracy outcome:
Can I present a weather report?
