This term in English, we will be continuing Read Write Inc. as well as focussing on high quality texts such as Matisse’s Magical Trail, What makes me, me?  and Traction Man by Mini Grey We will use these texts to develop our writing skills by writing character adventures and descriptions of characters and settings to really develop our writing skills.

In other subjects, we will be learning about Materials in science, where we will be developing our scientific knowledge to compare materials and researching which material is best for items in our everyday life. In History, we will be learning about the infamous Guy Fawkes and the plot that was created to dethrone King James I. We will be looking at different artifacts from that period and getting to know the conspirators involved.

In Maths, we are focussing on strengthening our previously taught skills to develop our knowledge and learning new skills and ways of thinking about numbers. We will be using various resources and written methods to develop these skills. The focus is very practical, this then helps us to move on to using the column method, sharing circles and arrays to solve number sentences and word problems.

PE kit should be worn to school on your PE day so that we are ready. Our PE day is Thursday.

Please make sure all reading books are in school EVERY day and keep an eye on ClassDojo for all of our updates! Bookworm bags will be making their way home with keen readers, so keep an eye out for those too.
