- Non-Chronological Reports: Children will research and present factual information in a structured format.
Maths
Our maths lessons will cover key topics across the term:
- Geometry and Measurement: Understanding perimeter, exploring properties of shapes, and symmetry.
- Decimals and Measurement: Working with decimal numbers, calculating with decimals, and solving money-related problems.
- Fractions: Adding, subtracting, and finding fractions of quantities, along with comparing and ordering fractions.

Science
This term, we will investigate:

Curriculum Subjects

History
We will travel back in time to learn about the Anglo-Saxons, exploring their culture and impact on Britain.

This term promises to be packed with engaging and educational experiences. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning journey
Multiplication Check
This year your child will be participating in the multiplication tables check in June. The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help your child’s school to identify if your child may need additional support.
