Writing

In our reading lessons this term, we will continue to provide the children with plenty of SATS-style reading comprehension. With these lessons, we will look at how to break down longer texts into smaller parts, how to answer questions effectively and how best to approach those 2 and 3 mark questions.

In writing, we are reading the fabulous 'Holes' book. The book, written by Louis Sachar, focuses on a young boy who is sent to a juvenile detention camp for a crime he did not commit! It's always been a crowd favourite in Year 6. From the reading of the book, we will write a persuasive speech as our main piece of work.
