Summer 1 - Team AC

In writing, Team AC children enjoyed reading a variety of different texts including George and the Dragon and Supertato. They used each of these texts as a starting point for discussion and this led to written work focusing on writing clear sentences about the characters in the text, the setting and the retelling of the story through use of story mapping. The children focused on segmenting (Fred Talk) to help them spell words independently. They practised using finger spaces to separate their words clearly. and there was a strong focus on using capital letters at the start of sentences and full stops at the end. The children also worked hard on forming their letters correctly and making their letters an even size. They continued the use of suffixes, 'ed' and 'ing as well as the prefix 'un'. Adults also introduced the idea that writers sometimes need to use 'es' as well as 's' to show plurals. The class have continued to extend their written work by using the word 'and' to join sentences and ideas.
