This term, our class is focused on sharpening essential English skills. We are refining our grammar and punctuation, developing our descriptive writing abilities through weekly lessons, and strengthening reading comprehension with regular practice. It promises to be a busy and rewarding term as pupils continue to grow in literacy, analytical thinking, and creative storytelling.
In maths, we are consolidating key number concepts. Pupils are exploring place value to build a secure understanding of digits, practicing addition and subtraction strategies, and mastering multiplication and division techniques. We are also delving into fractions to understand parts of a whole and perform basic fractional operations, strengthening overall fluency and problem-solving skills.
Across the wider curriculum, the term is packed with engaging topics. In science, we are investigating living things and learning how to classify various plants and animals. In history, pupils are exploring Tudor Britain, taking a closer look at Henry VIII and his six wives. Meanwhile, in physical education, we are developing balance, core control, and movement coordination, alongside weekly swimming lessons to build fitness and water confidence.
