Curriculum

English Skills

Weekly SPaG Structure Spelling

• 1. Introduce the new spelling

pattern of the week and learn the etymology.

• 2. Get to understand the pattern

through practice and examples of different words.

• 3. A weekly homework based on the

pattern which then leads into a test the following week. (Teacher will pick up any children who find the test tricky and work with them on the pattern in a flexible intervention)

Weekly SPaG Structure Punctuation and Grammar

• 1. Introduce the punctuation or

grammar focus of the week.

• 2. Learn how to apply the term in

their written work.

• 3. Children are then encouraged to

use the feature in their written work and that is given a particular focus in teacher models and feedback.

Guided Reading

We carry out guided reading along with independent 1:1 reading and the reading we do within our English lessons. a Guided reading focuses on retrieving information from a text, using inference and how to answer a variety of comprehension questions. We also work

• n word meaning (synonyms and anonyms) within

a text.

In English this term, we are starting by looking at Ancient Egyptian Myths. Following this, we are going to study a historical fiction novel ‘Secret’s of a Sun King’ by Emma

• Carroll. After half term, we will focus on non-

fiction texts and base our writing around this.

Behaviour

 Positive behaviour is rewarded with praise,

stickers, house points and marbles in the jar.

 If children do not follow the class instructions or

behave in an inappropriate way they will receive a verbal warning.

 If a child ignores a second warning (final

warning) and their behaviour persists they will miss playtime. If behaviour persists, parents will also be informed.
