English and Maths

English: This term we will be focusing on different genres of writing such as Poetry and Instructions.

The children will have plenty of opportunities to write in a range of different formats, such as dictionary and thesaurus work, character descriptions, diary entries, instructions, newspaper reports, recounts, information texts, persuasive writing, narrative writing and poetry. We will also be focusing on a range of grammar and punctuation features that the children will need to include in their writing.

Maths: We will be following the Power Maths scheme of work for our Maths learning. We will be continuing our unit on Multiplication and Division by using the expanded methods. Then we will move onto looking at Money and Statistics. After half term, we will then be learning about Length and beginning work on Fractions.
