Unit overview:
In this unit, the children will be hooked by a large class rocket! When they discover the text ‘Man on the Moon’ by Simon Bartram. Through shared reading lessons, children will be taught to make predictions based upon what they have read already. As the children become more familiar with the main character ‘Bob’ the ‘Man on the Moon’, they will prepare questions to ask him about his experiences on the moon. Hot seating activities will support the opportunity to ask and answer questions. Children will then discuss and record their understanding of the text using a story map to retell the main events. Grammar lessons will focus upon using adjectives for expanded noun phrases (character descriptions of the aliens), commas in a list and using coordinating conjunctions. The final writing piece will be to plan and write a story for the ‘Alien’s Night on Earth’. Shared planning and writing lessons will guide children towards quality writing.
