In History we will be learning about changes in Britain from The Stone Age to The Iron Age.

In Maths we will learn about place value, addition and subtraction as well as multiplciation and division. Each morning we complete morning work on our K.I.R.F. (Key Instant Recall Fact).

There will be daily guided reading sessions and we encourage you to read at least a couple of pages of your home reading book each evening with your adult at home, please make sure you bring your reading book and reading record into school each day, too. Our class novel this term is The Long Way Home by Sophie Kirtley.

In English we will be reading and responding to the book The Tunnel as well as writing our own versions of the story as part of the Talk for Writing process and learning about explanation texts.

In R.E. our work will focus on Our Christian Fmaily and Mary, Our Mother. This is such an exciting year for those of you who will be participating in the Sacramental Programme, as well as your friends in class who will support you along the way.

P.E. days will be Thursdays.

Homework will be sent out on Friday's and returned on Wednesday the following week to be marked. Homework will consist of spellings, a piece of English or Topic related work. There will be a work to complete on Times Tables Rock Stars as well as a piece of Maths homework.
