During Summer term 1 Disciples will be covering Unit 5 from the Literacy and Language book.

In the Non-fiction week, the focus is on developing children's understanding of non-chronological reports. They will identify key features of this text type and, with support, write their own non-chronological report. 

Where appropriate, the children will be encouraged to develop an awareness of audience and purpose in relation to the fiction and non-fiction texts they are reading and writing.
