KS1 & KS2 English curriculum

This unit uses and builds on pupils' reading and writing experiences in the EYFS. For the first time, sentences are broken down to introduce nouns and adjectives. Pupils are supported by being provided with carefully scaffolded sentence stems, where they are only required to generate their own noun and adjective. This scaffolding helps pupils secure their use of capital letters and full stops, as well as their ability to check their writing makes sense. This unit prepares pupils for writing a sequence of simple sentences within a narrative in the next unit 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'.
