Introduction
We are looking forward to our themed week, London Week where we focus on transport, our sports day and the arrival of long, summer days!
Core curriculum areas
Literacy
This term we read books by Anne Fine and Judy Blume. We explore the themes of issues and dilemmas in a variety of texts, playscripts, persuasive writing and a selection of poetry.
Numeracy
We will continue to learn a variety of strategies for developing number work. We put emphasis on learning tables and being able to calculate mentally. We will study place value, counting and number sequences, calculating (involving the four operations), fractions, handling data, shape and measuring.
Science
 Our two topics this term are 'Solids, Liquids and How They Can Be Separated' and 'Habitats'. We will be participating in practical investigations and learning new scientific vocabulary.
