Literacy
Within Literacy lessons, we focus all of our work around a text. This means that all of our reading and writing that we do, is based around the characters and the settings that we are learning about. Below is a little information about what we have been up to in Literacy! Please check the images below which link to the information here
'Anglo Saxon Boy'
For the remainder of the Spring term, our literacy lessons will focus on 'Anglo Saxon Boy'. We will be read 2 or 3 chapters at a time and complete spelling, punctuation and grammar lessons on those chapters and look carefully at the features of the text type before we complete our writing. We will be writing a character description, a setting description, a balanced argument and an information text.
Can you read 100 books before you leave St John's?
In Autumn term we will be continuing our reading for pleasure challenge! We will continue to use our booklets where we will tick off each exciting book that we have read and then rate it out of 5 stars. Key stage 2 have the extra challenge of having to review each book they have read. In celebration assembly each week, each class will now have a 'golden reader' chosen by the class teacher and their names will go into a draw to win a reading prize at the end of each half term. We are all very excited!
