Description

In this unit, pupils read the narrative text 'The Planet in a Pickle Jar'. They explore the rich vocabulary and detailed illustrations used in the text. Finally, they identify and discuss the key themes in the text, uncovering a message about family and the environment.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' experience of reading and engaging with a rich, high quality text, which was explored in the prior unit 'The Wolf, The Duck and the Mouse'. Pupils will explore the new vocabulary from the text and learn how illustrations can help to communicate meaning. In this unit, pupils will discuss the theme of protection relating to environment, family and belongings. This will prepare them for further exploration and discussion around themes in the future unit, 'Don't Cross the Line!'
