Learning goals

  • We are learning to create, re-read and edit short written and multimodal texts to report on a topic, express an opinion or recount an event using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling.
  • We are learning to recognise that texts have different features and purposes, e.g. recount, narrate, express opinion, inform, report and explain.
  • We are learning to explore language to provide reasons for likes, dislikes and preferences.
  • We are learning to understand that speech, gestures, writing, symbols and icons e.g. emojis are used to communicate needs, likes and dislikes.
  • We are learning to identify that texts serve different purposes and that this affects how they are organised.
  • We are learning to create texts for a purpose that show our understanding of the connection between writing, speech and images.
  • We are learning to edit our texts and make changes to improve meaning, spelling and punctuation.
  • We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word to construct texts and add images.
