Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore the picture book, 'Leaf'. They develop their understanding of the plot through rich discussions. Finally, they identify and discuss the key themes of belonging, kindness and the environment.

This unit builds on pupils' ability to give personal responses to key themes, which was developed in 'Grandad's Island'. In 'Leaf', pupils will develop this further by considering others in their responses, as well as actions they could take to support others. They will learn to make predictions using evidence and explore the rich vocabulary used in the text. Pupils will express opinions and listen to others, preparing them for the future unit, 'Developing Reading Preferences in Year 3', where pupils will start to learn about how to choose texts for themselves.
