KS1 & KS2 English curriculum

This unit applies all grammatical and sentence building work from previous units to a personal context. The unit also encourages pupils to discuss and apply grammatical skills for a range of purposes, such as using fronted adverbials of time and nouns in a list. Pupils will plan, orally rehearse and write a sequenced recount of a trip they have been on. This is the first unit where the pupils produce a plan, which will help to prepare them for the Year 2 writing curriculum.
