Morecambe and Heysham

Grosvenor Park Primary School

English

 

      

 

This term in English, the children will be diving into the exciting novel The Explorer by Katherine Rundell and exploring the thought-provoking poem There's a Rang-Tan in My Bedroom. These fantastic texts link beautifully with our Geography topic on rainforests and will spark lots of curiosity and discussion! Along the way, the children will be sharpening their grammar and comprehension skills, while also developing their writing through non-chronological reports, letters, and imaginative narratives. They'll also have the chance to get creative by putting together presentations about conservation—an inspiring way to learn more about protecting our planet!
