We hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer and are ready for the new term. We’ve got an exciting few months ahead, and we can’t wait to dive in! The Autumn Term is always a busy one, so here’s a little peek at what’s coming up:
English
To begin the school year, we are starting with the text ‘The First Drawing’ by Mordecai Gerstein, this is a great book, linked to our topic about ‘The Stone Age’. This book will develop our knowledge about life in the stone age and will also provide lots of great writing opportunities. We will be creating our own exciting stone age adventure to share with our families.
We will continue to work on our common exception word spellings and looking at a range of punctuation to make our writing exciting.
Maths
We are starting the year with the ‘Place Value’ unit in Power Maths, then moving onto addition and subtraction, partitioning numbers, comparing numbers and adding numbers on a number line.
We will be continuing to work on our times table knowledge and times table rockstars will really help to support this.
