English

In this unit, pupils have been writing in the first person and using their own viewpoint to share their personal experiences. In 'Florence Nightingale: Diary Writing', pupils will build on these skills by writing in the first person, but from another's point of view, in a diary entry. 

In 'School Trip Recount: Writing', pupils learned how to use 'and' as a co-ordinating conjunction to join their ideas in a recount. In this unit, pupils will build on this skill by extending the amount of co-ordinating conjunctions they can confidently use.
