Week beginning 17th January 2022

Writing

We will be planning, composing and editing an Explanation text, which explains How Climate Change is damaging Earth.

The children have researched The Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming as well as the impact it has on the natural environment. They will be including facts about this and explaining how Climate Change is damaging the Earth. 

Guided Reading

In Guided Reading this week we are looking at texts about Polar Bears to learn about the impact Global Warming is having on this magnificent beast.

We will be focusing on vocabulary in the context of the sentence and retrieval skills.

DEAR

In DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) this term we are reading Alien Rain by Ruth Morgan. This is linked to our Topic of Space and is about an ordinary teenage girl living on Mars who is sent on a mission to Earth. The book is a mystery and suspense. Through this text we will be learning how to build tension and suspense into our own stories and narrative.
