Autumn Term One: English - Greek Myths
The children start by reading a selection of Greek myths, using drama and inference to empathise with the characters and looking at the different themes in myths. They look at the author’s use of devices to build cohesion and different ways of indicating parenthesis. For the final writing task, they brainstorm, plan and write their own myths, focusing on including powerful language and using devices of cohesion.
Autumn Term Two: English - Recounts and Diaries
In this unit, the children will:
be asked to find some examples of how the diarist is feeling at different times in the diary entry.
insert relative pronouns or relative clauses into sentences and also be asked to write their own relative clause sentences.
learn how adverbs of possibility can alter the meaning of a sentence. They will insert
appropriate adverbs into sentences.
interpret how the main character is feeling through their feelings, their thoughts and
their actions.
write a shared diary entry with a partner, writing from a different person’s point of
view.
record notes about what they could hear, see, smell and how it made them feel. Thoughts
will be added to complete their notes.
