This term in Edinburgh Clan we will be listening to the exciting podcast Once Upon a Time in Zombieville as part of our Literacy learning.
The story has already sparked lots of discussion, prediction and imagination, helping us to develop our talking and listening skills. Through paired and group discussions pupils have been sharing their ideas, explaining their thinking and listening carefully to the opinions of others.
We have also been using the story to support our writing. Our focus has been on creating extended sentences by adding more detail and descriptive language into our written answers. The children have been working hard to make their writing more interesting for the reader while ensuring that their sentences make sense and flow smoothly.
As part of this learning, we are paying close attention to using punctuation correctly, including capital letters, full stops, commas and other punctuation marks where appropriate. This helps us communicate our ideas clearly and effectively.
We are looking forward to discovering what happens next in Zombieville and using the story as inspiration for further talking, listening and writing activities in the weeks ahead. Be sure to ask your child about the characters and events in the story so far…
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Sage,
