English Focus:

In Spring 1, we will be creating a diary and so we will be focusing on writing expanded noun phrases for description. This is building on from last term. We will also be focusing on creating order using fronted adverbials and using adverbials to explain how the action has happened. After this, we will be focusing on conjunctions to extend sentences then how to write using formal language. Building on from Spring 1, we will learn how to use expanded noun phrases in a non-fiction text to describe the Peak District. With this, we will also extend sentences with subordinating conjunctions.
