Writing

Throughout the year we will read a range of high quality texts that will enable us to complete writing in different genres including, a diary entry, a letter, descriptions, poems, instructions and non chronological reports. 

The children will learn how to apply their phonic knowledge to their writing as well as spelling patterns and the spelling of common exception words for KS1. Throughout the year we will learn how to form letters using a pre cursive style. 

Reading

Reading is at the heart of all learning and we will encourage all children to engage fully in their reading journey. Please ensure that you are sharing texts with your children at home and reading a bedtime story every day. The children need to read at home three times a week to meet their weekly reading target.
