Core subject Focus Areas: 

Guided Reading:
The main text we will be reading and analysing is The Jaguar Stones by J & P Voelkel. Reading will be a big priority this year so please support us by encouraging your child to read, read and read some more at home. Question your children about the books they are reading in school and at home and help develop your child's love for reading.

English:

Our focus genre will be myths to begin with. Children will be using the text 'Rain Player' and the Maya creation story as basis for writing their own. Writing will focus on creating atmosphere using descriptive language, high level vocabulary and using punctuation accurately. Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPAG) will also continue to be a focus this year.
