Inspired by: The Disgusting Sandwich - Medium Term Plan

In the medium term plan for Year 1, Module 5, students delve into "The Disgusting Sandwich" by Gareth Edwards and Hannah Shaw, focusing on comprehension, composition, and grammar and punctuation. The first week sets the stage with objectives like making inferences from actions and dialogue, composing sentences orally prior to writing, and understanding the importance of leaving spaces between words. Teacher ideas include topics like "Rumble Rumble," "At The Park," and "Litter," which encourage students to discuss and write about settings and actions that relate to the story.

Subsequent weeks build on these skills, with Week 2 focusing on ensuring texts make sense and correcting reading errors, sequencing sentences for narrative structure, and using capital letters for names. Activities like "A Beautiful Sandwich," "Oops!" and "Bertie The Badger" help students practice these skills. By Week 5, students are revisiting making inferences and discussing their writing with others, while also learning about regular plural noun suffixes with activities themed around "A Pile Of Feathers," "The Disgusting Sandwich," and "Slugs." The final week encourages participation in discussions, reading aloud, and the use of capital letters for the pronoun 'I', with activities like "Delicious Slugs," "Mouse Tales," and "Stuffed Mouse" to apply these concepts. This structured approach ensures that students engage with the text on multiple levels, enhancing their reading and writing abilities.
