During the Autumn term, we shall be looking at a number of different writing genres.

We shall start by looking at setting descriptions and use this to describe a Stone Age environment. This will introduce key vocabulary to the children such as cavern, meadow, draughty and meandering. 

After this, we shall move on to write a report on the Stone Age, which will allow the children to report their learning from their Enquiry lessons and to describe the prehistoric time period. They will use vocabulary such as fierce, survive, construct and permanent. 

We will introduce Cinquain poems to look at the Bronze Age period and expand their experience of poetry. They will use vocabulary such as harvest, forging, legacy and grain. 

Finally, we shall write a set of instructions on how to build an Iron Age hillfort, combining all of our Enquiry learning with our English writing. We shall be using vocabulary such as defences, equipment, ditch, and steep.
