Within English we shall be using the book Oliver and the Seawigs by Phillip Reeve to learn many different skills.The children will be learning to write a setting description, a diary, an instruction booklet, a chant, a newspaper article and a debate. The children will have their learning reinforced by encouraging use of various punctuation marks. They will also be expected to know various grammatical terminology and how to use them in their work. Using Oliver and the Seawigs, they will develop positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what they have read through comprehensive guided reading sessions in class.
