English:

In English, we follow 'The Write Stuff' by Jane Considine. The children are starting their writing journey this year by writing a narrative based on the Disney short film: Feast. 

Throughout their learning journey, the children will be able to take part in 'Experience Days' which are designed in a way to stimulate writing ideas, strengthen context and build imagination. 

Experience Days for 'Feast':

• Dog Visit to class
• Taste Test of Healthy and Unhealthy Snacks (dietary and allergy needs are considered and you will be notified prior to this lesson with a list of ingredients/foods). 
• 'Friendships Breakdown' - watching a selection of Disney film clips in which friendships are put to the test (again - if any clips are PG, your permission will be required either in the form of a Dojo or message to the office). 
• 'Dramatic Action' - watching a selection of clips where the characters have to do something extreme to secure a good outcome
