English
Autumn Term - World War Two
All English activities are to be based around our topic of World War Two, under our question of 'Did World War Two change the World?'
Throughout the term we will complete four units of writing:
- Narrative (a found tale based on evacuation).
- Recount (a newspaper report about the declaration of War in September 1939).
- Biography (about Anne Frank)
- Non-chronological report (to finalise our topic and to demonstrate what we have learned)
Our Guided Reading text will be 'Letters from the Lighthouse' which describes The Blitz, evacuation, Kindertransport and many other areas of World War Two.

Alongside our cross-curricular work, we will also be covering the Year 5 grammar curriculum as well as revising the Year 3 and 4. This will be done through grammar starters at the beginning of our English lessons as well as homework.
