Writing We will focus on a range of texts types, looking at a variety of examples and applying the features to our own writing. We will also focus on a range of different types of writing including narrative. Whilst developing sentence and word level skills The children will be given spellings to learn every week. |
Oracy We will take part in presentations. These will be centred around our topic, presenting information, processes and ideas clearly and appropriately for a range of audiences. |
Mathematical Development
Numeracy
Number work can be greatly helped by rapid recall of facts, in particular multiplications. Pupils will be spending time improving their responses, when for example they double and halve numbers, adding and subtracting 3,4 and 5 digit numbers, and reciting multiplication and division facts. Please encourage your child to find the facts they should know and help them at home with quick, accurate answers.
Problem Solving
This will be a regular activity as part of our maths learning. This allows us to apply our maths learning to new contexts. We will use the scheme, ‘Let’s Think Through Maths / CAME and topic related activities to develop our reasoning skills. We will be applying skills learned to our ‘rich tasks’.
