Based around the book ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers, this 9 lesson English Unit of Work covers Year 1 National Curriculum Objectives for S & L, Reading, Grammar and Spelling and Composition. The unit includes editable planning documents, worksheets, writing frames and much more.  End of unit Writing: Retelling the story.

Unit overview:

This unit contains two engaging ‘hook’ ideas that introduce the children to the text ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers. The children will then discuss the book title and link this to their own personal experience of a time when they ‘lost’ something and how this made them feel. Shared reading lessons will explore inference strategies to consider how characters are feeling and why. Children will then go on to make simple predictions about the story based upon what they have already read. Grammar lessons will explore the use of linking words (conjunctions) ‘and’ and ‘but’. Children will explore these conjunctions in the text, recognising the clauses linked with the conjunctions. They will then learn about suffixes and identify how the suffix ‘ed’ and ‘ing’ have been used within the text to modify verbs. The children will then be taught about the importance of punctuating sentences with capital letters and full stops, correcting sentences and creating their own posters to explain the rules about punctuating sentences. Children will then use storyboards and story maps to sequence the story to support them to retell the story in their own words. The final writing piece is based around a retell of the story, shared and guided writing will support the children to sequence the story into a beginning, middle and ending.
