During Guided Reading, our opening text will be Henry the VIII’s Secret Diary, part of the Horrible History series written by Terry Deary. We will use the text to plunge into our History unit with references to war related vocabulary and terminology throughout. We will continue to broaden children’s breadth of vocabulary through lessons. Alongside this, we will be ensuring that their reading is growing in fluency and that they have an understanding of the themes within the text. 

In writing sessions, our focus will be on the text Wonder. The award-winning text is fantastic and explores the experiences of a ten-year-old boy and inclusion. The children will recap their knowledge of sentence structure, dialogue and narrative writing to begin the term.  

This is just a snippet of the subjects that we will be covering, please see our curriculum newsletter (below) for all subjects. Daily reading will continue to support your child’s learning therefore we would urge you to encourage them to read at home for at least 10 minutes each day. Homework will be set once per week. 

Please continue to check in with us throughout the term using Class Dojo as your child’s points and key messages will continue to be updated.
