Writing
This half term we will be using the book ‘The Dragon Machine’ by Helen Ward to inspire our writing. This story looks at adventure and believing in yourself.
Children will write an adventure story including the following features:
Write sentences in different forms: statement, question, exclamation, command
Use subordination (because, when)
Use past and present tense correctly and consistently
Use punctuation correctly - exclamation marks, question marks
Maths
For our Maths lessons, we will be looking at multiplication and division. Children will identify equal and unequal groups using objects and pictures, then apply to different multiplication questions. Children will then move to representing multiplication and division through using arrays.
RE
We will be starting our new unit ‘Galilee to Jersusalem’. We will be learning about the importance of Baptism, including John the Baptist, and about the miracles of Jesus.
In geography, we will be learning about Florence Nightingale.
In science, we will be looking at living things and their habitats.
In DT, we will be covering the topic vehicles.
In PE, children will be learning dance.
Things to remember
Our PE days will be on a Monday. Children need to come into school wearing their correct PE uniform.
Please make sure your child brings their book bag in each day so their book can be changed. We will be reading with your child throughout the week.
Children need to bring a labelled water bottle in each day.
