ENGLISH UNIT 5: AMAZING NATURE

Dear Parents,

Your child is about to start Unit 5. The main topic of this unit is nature. In the unit your child will learn how to talk about natural features and compare and contrast them. He/she will be introduced to this language through episode 5 of the exciting adventure story Race to the pole, a song and a grammar rap: I’d like to sail across the ocean.

In Unit 5 your child will learn about the North and South Poles and about icebergs. Your child will complete his/ her own ‘My Little Fact File of the North and South Poles’ to reinforce this learning. Your child will also learn about National Parks in Britain and learn a rhyme to practise specific English consonant sounds.

In this unit your child will have the opportunity to read and write questions and answers comparing people and places. Your child will also read short texts about natural features and write a short text about a national park or natural feature in their own country, following a model.

I hope you and your child enjoy this unit!

Mrs. Eva.
