KS1 & KS2 English curriculum

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of writing in a non-fiction style from the Year 1 unit 'School trip: writing a recount'. Here, pupils write formal instructions, including a title and ingredients list, for a fantasy pizza. They learn about imperative verbs and how to stretch initial ideas for adjectives into more precise ones to write clear instructions. Pupils focus on using capital letters, full stops and commas after sequencing fronted adverbials. This unit prepares pupils for more non-fiction writing in the Year 2 unit 'The Great Fire of London: non-chronological report'.
