English

English

In English our main text will be The Tiger Child by Joanna Troughton. You can listen to the story here. 

We will be using this story as we  focus on using capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks.  

We will also be developing our ability to leave finger spaces, use our phonetic knowledge and form a neat  handwriting style, as well as making our sentences more interesting by using adventurous vocabulary. This story will allow us to practise describing characters and places, using adjectives and connectives to add interest to our sentences.
