CLASS TEXT: This term we will be using the text 'The Disgusting Sandwich' and 'The Jolly Postman' to support our learning in English. We will be focusing on understanding sentence structure and what a good sentence looks like. We will be verbally practising sentences and then moving on to writing sentences, using simple punctuation. We will be using the Talk4Writing approach, which includes lots of repetitive language and fun actions, to support us retelling the stories. We will be writing instructions for making our own disgusting sandwich and writing a letter to Father Christmas.

Homework It is really important to read with your child at least 3 times a week. Reading stories on a regular basis helps children develop a sense of the story structure and fires their imagination. It really does make a difference!
