English

This term part of our English work will be using Disney's The Jungle Book to develop our reading comprehension and spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG) skills.

Some of the SPaG skills we will focus on this term are word classes, apostrophes for contractions and to show possession, as well as consolidating what we know about using other punctuation types.

We will also be focusing on reading comprehension skills including inference, sequencing as well as understanding vocabulary. These are important skills that we will spend time practising and using within a variety of texts and genres.

Maths

Over this term, the children will be continuing with their addition and subtraction work of two 2-digit numbers. They will then use this number knowledge to estimate answers and solve missing number problems. They will be using their number knowledge to find fractions of amounts including, ¼, ½ and ¾ and also find fractions of shapes. The children will continue to develop their understanding of multiplication and division facts and use this to solve problems. Regular practise of these and number bonds will be part of our early morning work. As the term progresses, they will be working on time and practising telling the time to the to the nearest 15 minutes. This is a great skill to practise at home too!
