Core subject Focus Areas:
Guided Reading:
The main text we will be reading and analysing is Wolf Wilder. Reading continues to be a priority, so please support us by encouraging your child to read, read and read some more at home. Question your children about the books they are reading in school and at home and help develop your child's love for reading.
English:
Our focus genre will be non-fiction writing: explanation texts and balanced arguments. Writing will focus on the use of cohesive devices, technical terminology, high level vocabulary and using punctuation accurately. Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPAG) will also continue to be a focus this year.
Maths
We will be following the White Rose scheme of work which will consolidate children's knowledge of shape and angles. We will also continue to work on securing children's arithmetic and reasoning skills.
PSHE : Managing risk
RE : Ascension and Pentecost
History/Geography: Deserts
Science: The Circulatory System
Music : Explore a range of musical genres
Computing: Website creation

It is essential that homework tasks are completed on a daily basis, in the set time. Tasks will be set from revision books (Autumn 2), on the My Maths website and on the Showbie learning platform. Daily reading should also take place at home. Please ensure that you discuss books that the children are reading and ask the children questions. The reading record books must also be signed daily.
Please download the school app to ensure you receive the latest updates.
