Year 4 Spring 2 English Planning Unit : Passport to Europe

This half term block, based around a theme of Passport to Europe, consists of two English units:

  • Novel as a theme
  • Non-chronological reports

Cross curricular links
Although the units will stand alone, they can be planned to run alongside geography, design technology and music. A context for writing a non-chronological report could be a region in a European country, including information around a classical European composer. For novel as a theme, any appropriate text could be selected. Design technology could be linked via creating a passport holder or a money container for two or more currencies.

Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation
Skills have been specifically identified for each unit from Key Learning in Writing. The full set of units include all skills for the year group. However, if these units and/or skills are rearranged from the planned order, modifications to the identified grammar skills may be necessary. When planning, consider if the suggested skills are the most appropriate for the class or if different skills are needed based on assessments of children’s outcomes. This may involve the revisiting of skills from previous year groups. Refer to Key Learning in Writing for the year group to ensure full coverage over the year.

Our English Planning Units have all recently been updated to include:

  • new ideas and approaches for planning through the teaching sequence phases with more detailed guidance on reading and gathering content phases;
  • updated suggestions of texts, direct links to specific film clips and resources within every unit;
  • a tighter focus on grammar skills via warm-up sessions and integration within units;
  • increased emphasis on vocabulary for reading and writing;
  • further short and longer writing opportunities built into each unit; and
  • updated outcome suggestions for scaffolded writing whilst highlighting the need for independent writing for assessment purposes.

There isn't enough to cover a whole term of planning. £25 is a lot of money for what it offers.
