In the classroom

English

First Term

In the first half of Autumn term, Blue class looked at creating their own fictional story. They used the story starter of 'The Game' which is based on Jumanji. They then created a fictional story using descriptive language, speech and adverbs. It was based around the setting of a classroom and a dusty old game that appears during wet play. 

During the second half of Autumn Term, Blue class will be creating a information fact file based on Ancient Egypt. We will investigate the layouts of fact files, how paragraphing and sub-headings portrays information for our reader. We will also be looking at how to increase our sentence structure with different conjunctions.
