A very warm welcome back to school! We hope you have had a wonderful summer and are excited to start the new term! 

In English, we will begin our year with the graphic novel Stitch Head. The children will make predictions about the story before developing detailed character descriptions using ambitious vocabulary and descriptive language.

In Maths, we will begin with Place Value, working with numbers up to 10,000, before exploring Roman numerals. We will also develop our understanding of rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000 and apply these skills to problem-solving.

Our Guided Reading sessions will be centred around Oscar’s Lion. Through this text, we will explore themes such as friendship, courage, belonging and overcoming challenges. We will develop our reading skills by making inferences, retrieving information and exploring interesting vocabulary.

In History, we will travel back to Ancient Sumer, exploring how the Sumerians lived, their achievements and the development of the world’s first cities and writing. We will then move on to Ancient Egypt, comparing the two civilisations and investigating the similarities and differences between their ways of life.

PE - is on a Friday afternoon. Please remember to wear black shorts, red PE t-shirt, trainers and red hooded top, if needed.
