Summer 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 ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. We will be writing our own diary entries, letters and stories. For the second half term, we will be reading ‘Zeraffa Giraffa’ by Diane Hoffmeyer and focusing our persuasive writing skills. Alongside this, we have weekly 'Pathways to Read' lessons where we will be reading the Usborne illustrated Atlas of Britain and Ireland and  ‘The Egyptian Cinderella’ by Shirley Climo.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 fractions in more detail. The children’s learning will focus on: counting up and down in tenths; recognising that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts; finding ‘fractions of amounts’; adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator; comparing and ordering fractions with the same denominators and recognising equivalent fractions. Next, we will be learning about Mass and Capacity when the children will measure, compare, add and subtract mass (kg and g) and capacity (l and ml). Later in the term, we will be exploring units of work on time, shape and statistics. 

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