The Jolly Postman - Year 1 English Planning Sequence

12 sessions to follow a planning sequence for the story “The Jolly Postman” by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

Suitable for a Year 1 class or more able EYFS class.

This unit planning would be best suited for the Autumn Term in Year 1. It links to traditional tale stories and focuses on some of the characters in more detail. It follows my English Overview (available in my TES shop) so the SPAG for this unit is more suited for those first few weeks.

Includes WALT’s/ LO’s for each session and provides a wide-range of outcomes, including:

Role play
Writing labels
Writing captions
Writing lists
Baking following instructions
Simple descriptions
Making a birthday card
Sequencing a familiar story
Writing dictated sentences

This sequence covers a three week block, however, there are opportunities to extend this and look at more detail into some of the stories mentioned.

Please note: The Gingerbread house drawing in session 4 and the sentence building cards in session 5 are available on Twinkl.
