Unit Overview:
In this unit, children will be hooked in with a delivery of half-eaten food inside a basket. They will investigate this basket using the clues inside. They will speculate and hypothesis about the basket through speaking and listening to answer questions to come to a conclusion. The class will then be introduced to the text ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ by Ronda Armitage. Shared reading lessons will focus on clarifying some challenging vocabulary within the text, making inferences and sequencing the story. The class will then prepare their own class picnic, following recipes to create simple dishes. Based on this, the class will independently write their own recipes (short write). Grammar lessons will explore the use of expanded noun phrases with in the text; the class will then write a short coastline setting description using suitable expanded noun phrases. Children will also learn about the use of subordinating conjunctions, question marks and exclamation marks used effectively within texts. Following this, children will be taught about the planning process in order to write their very own story from the seagull’s point of view ‘The Seagulls’ Lunch’. Children will use story maps, and boxed planning templates to support them to form their ideas. Shared writing lessons will guide children through the writing process, using the grammar and punctuation skills practiced throughout the unit.
