We focus on 7 key reading skills - clarifying, predicting, questioning, making links, summarising, inferring and evaluating.
English
In English, we will continue developing our grammar, punctuation and writing skills through a range of creative writing opportunities linked to our wider curriculum learning. Children will complete independent writing tasks inspired by Mexico and our class reading text.
Grammar work this half term will include:
- relative clauses
- fronted adverbials
- subordinating conjunctions
- semi-colons
- spelling patterns and homophones
Children will continue developing their editing and proofreading skills to improve the quality of their independent writing.
Maths
In Maths, we will focus on geometry and measurement. Children will explore:
- Place value
- adding and subtracting 5-digit numbers
- reading and writing numbers up to ten million
We will continue developing arithmetic fluency, mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills throughout the half term.
To help you child's learning in this area, we strongly recommend that they make use of Times Tables Rockstars.
