Autumn 2024

English:  We are looking forward to focusing on two wonderful texts with the children this term.  For the first half term we will be reading ‘Seal Surfer’ by Michael Foreman. We will be writing our own recount letters and short dialogues using inverted commas. For the second half term, we will be reading ‘Winter’s Child’ by Angela McAllister where we will build upon our descriptive writing skills in order to create our own fantasy stories. Alongside this, we have weekly 'Pathways to Read' lessons where we will be reading ‘The Sea Book’ by Charlotte Milner and ‘Ice Palace’ By Robert Swindells. These whole class reading sessions are designed to really expand the children's reading skills and develop their comprehension and understanding of the texts they encounter. 

Here is the overview of books we will be reading as a stimulus for our English lessons:

Maths: For the beginning of this term we will be exploring place value. The children’s learning will focus on: reading and writing numbers in words and numerals, comparing and ordering numbers, finding more or less than a given number and counting in multiples of 50 and 100. Next, we will be learning about multiplication and division where children will use mental and written methods to answer calculations and solve problems involving the four operations. Later in the term, we will be learning about length and perimeter.

Don't forget to practise, practise and practise those times tables!
