Based around the book ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr, this 10 lesson English Unit of Work covers Year 1 National Curriculum Objectives for Reading, Grammar and Spelling and Writing Composition. The unit includes editable planning documents, worksheets, writing frames and much more. End of unit Writing: Story Writing (writing a story about a different zoo animal that comes for tea).
Unit overview:
In this unit, children will be ‘hooked’ into the story with a class tea party, with a special visit from a tiger. The class will then be introduced to the book ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. Shared reading lessons will support to develop key reading strategies. They will begin to link events from the story to their own personal experiences. They will also begin to make inferences based on the character’s feelings from the story. Once the children are familiar with the story, they will use picture cards to sequence the story in the correct order. Following this, the class will focus on words within the text that have contractions. Recognising and reading these words, learning about the omission of letters and the apostrophe to contract the words. Adjectives used for description will then be explored within the text. Children will select their own ‘zoo’ animal to describe using adjectives. Shared and guided writing lessons will then encourage children to use a story map to plan out their ideas for their own story about a zoo animal visiting for tea. Children will use a step-by-step approach to compose sentences orally before writing them. Final writing piece: story about a different zoo animal coming to tea.
