Summer 2 overview - Available now!
Due to popular demand, the Primary English and Literacy team have created a second overview of units to support schools, teachers, parents and children.
This follows on from an overview produced for Summer 1 including 6 weeks of plans for Reception to Y6. You may not have used the full suite yet due to this being a 5 week half term!
The Summer 2 overview includes 4 weeks of plans from Reception to Y6 which can be used at home or in school.
As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes.
Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways:
-Providing word banks to support each day or week
-Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them
-Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum
We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page…. lpdslancashire
