Unit Overview

The children will be presented with a special box from The Stone Age era, inside they will explore and describe different artifacts and locate the book ‘The Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura. Through shared reading lessons they will begin to make predictions based on what they have read. As they continue to read, children will be taught how to summarise the text, ask questions, clarify new word meanings and retrieve and record information from the text. They will learn how ‘a’ and ‘an’ are used before words and they will deepen their understanding of subordinating conjunctions. The children will then explore non-fiction books and recognise the features of non-fiction books. They will read a non-chronological report about ‘Stone Age Life’ and identify the main features of this report. The children will then be taught how to plan and write their own non-chronological report linked to ‘Stone Age Life’ using many of the new facts they discovered in ‘The Stone Age Boy’ text. The reports will be collated to create a whole class non-fiction book about ‘The Stone Age’.
