Hamilton Class Year 4/5
Mrs Potter and Mrs Cooke
English - Talk for Writing
We use talk for writing in English to teach writing, using various fiction and non-fiction texts. This process goes through several stages, enabling children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
English - Reading
We use VIPERS in reading lessons and our current book is The Boy in the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Rauf.
Our reading for pleasure book this half term is The Land of Roar by Jenny Mclachlan
Please use this document when you read with your children at home.
