Welcome to Gorillas class! Our class team consists of Miss Morison (Class Teacher) and Mrs Perkins (Classroom Support Professional).
English
In English we are currently exploring the book ‘Leon and the Place Between’. We will be working towards writing a narrative from a character perspective as well as looking at repeated word poetry. We will be revisiting our learning around using paragraphs, writing in the past tense, adverbials of time, and using expanded noun phrases to make our writing entertaining for the audience.
In reading, we will continue to learn about the Key Stage 2 Reading Content Domains and applying those to Leon and the Place Between.
