English – Writing

On Monday the children will go for a nature detective walk in Duppas Hill, whilst there they will observe signs of Autumn. The children will use their senses, thinking about what they see, hear, touch, taste and smell.

On Tuesday the children will begin to understand the structure of a cinquain poem.

On Thursday the children will be thinking about powerful and precise words to describe Autumn.

Children will start with a sentence – red leaves falling and they will be encouraged to up level it.

Red – is there a better hue that would represent the colour?

Falling – how do leaves fall? They twirl, sprinkle, spiral …

Consider using surprising word combinations e.g. leaves dancing, winds shrieking/whispering
Friday – The children will think about creating interesting sound effects to describe Autumn.

PSHE
We have introduced the children to a programme called Zones of Regulation which we are hoping will help regulate feelings and emotions and offer the children the correct way to talk about their feelings.
