English - Autumn Term 1

To start the half term we are writing non-chronological reports about Rabbits; in these we will be using fronted adverbials, possessive apostrophes and subordinating conjunctions.

Our reading text this term is ‘Run Wild’ by Gill Lewis.  This is the story of Izzy and her friends and what happens when they stumble across an urban wilderness and an injured wolf that desperately needs their help.

Throughout the term, we will develop our skimming and scanning skills to find facts about the characters as well as infer their characteristics, thoughts and feelings.  The text will also be used as a stimulus for writing diary entries as well as studying direct speech and the used of inverted commas.
