Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise that different types of texts can use words, groups of words and images to make meaning.
- We are learning to recognise punctuation in written text, such as capital letters used for names and for beginning a sentence and punctuation marks, such as full stops, signal the end.
- We are learning that sentences are used to express ideas and that the order of words in a sentence is important for meaning.
