This is what we will be getting up to in Year in Autumn Term 2!

In English we will be studying 'Stories with familiar settings' and we will be focusing on the story 'The tiger who came for tea'. We will be innovating this story and changing the characters and settings to create our own story. We will learn about noun phrases, adjectives and the use of verbs when writing. We will then apply these skills to our sentences and look at how we can extend our sentences by using conjunctions.
Later on in the term, we will look at 'Poems on a theme' and our theme will be Christmas! We will write our own Christmas poems and explore different types of poems such as acrostic, repeating and rhyming.
