Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Writing about what someone will be when they grow up means writing in the future, using phrases such as 'I want to...'
- Rehearsing a sentence out loud before writing it helps us to remember it
- Common exception words are words that cannot be sounded out easily
- Sounding out a word before writing helps to spell a word
- Reading back writing is important to check it is correct and makes sense
Common misconception
Children may have already thought about a different aspiration (e.g. footballer, singer etc.)
Encourage pupils to choose a different job if they have requested and work with them to find a suitable adjective, such as 'unstoppable footballer' instead of 'helpful footballer'. The purpose of the task is about aspiration, so any job is suitable.
