Autumn 2

This half term we will be focussing on the text The Owl who was afraid of the dark by Jill Tomlinson. The children are going to be doing different tasks leading up to them writing an infromation report about owls.

To start of the unit of work we wrote down facts we already knew about Owls. 

The childern have really enjoyed listening to the story and we wrote a description of Plop flying from his branch to speak with different people about the dark. 

We gathered facts about Owls together and sorted them into different categories.

Autumn 1

This half term we will be focussing on the text Troll Swap by Leigh Hodgkinson where the children will build up to write a story in the style of the Troll using their own character.

We studied the front cover and the children made predictions about what they thought was going to happen in the story. 

We started to learn a little bit more about Timothy Limpet. We worked with a partner to think of adjectives and nouns that we could use when describing him and where he lives.

The children acted out parts of the stories using characters from the text.
