In Writing this half term, we will be exploring the book The Paperbag Prince and learning to:

• Use modal verbs to indicate degrees of possibility

• Use devices to build cohesion within a paragraph

• Choose the appropriate register

• Use brackets, dashes or commas to indicate parenthesis

• Enhance meaning through selecting appropriate grammar and vocabulary

Our writing outcome is to create a persuasive leaflet to give information about waste management.

In our shared reading sessions, we will be exploring Pollution: A look behind the scenes.
We will be focusing on retrieval this half term, whilst looking at vocabulary, inference and prediction. We will apply
knowledge and skills from last half term to unpick key vocabulary and explaining our opinions with evidence from
the text.

In Maths, we will be refreshing our shape knowledge, exploring angles from Y4 and begin to use a protractor to measure various angles. Children will then move onto looking at position and direction. We will plot coordinates on a four quadrant grid, move shapes and explore lines of symmetry.
