The children will be looking at various areas in Mathematics. This will include Place Value, Addition and subtraction, Measure-area and Multiplication and Division.

One of our main focus will be the multiplication assessment in June. The children will have the opportunity to practice their tables in school and at home using the online websites that we have signed up to. They are - 

• TTRockstars 

• MyMaths 

• Mathshed (found in Spelling Shed) Please spend at least 10 minutes everyday helping your child become an expert in multiplications. 

This will include reading, writing, speaking and listening, drama, handwriting, grammar and spelling. Written work will include two Fiction units- The Iron Man and the Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse our third unit is a poetry unit- Still I Rise. In grammar, we will look at the effective use of pronouns, fronted adverbials, understanding conjunctions, adverbs and prepositions to express time and cause. We will be reading both nonfiction and fiction books this term and these books will link up with Destination Reader. 

Spellings

Your child will receive spelling homework every Thursday. These spellings should be learnt over the week ready for a spelling test the following Thursday. Children will also need to complete the activities at the back of their spelling sheet to ensure understanding of the correct spelling words. 

Reading Record

Your child has been given a reading record which they need to complete daily, after at least 15 minutes of reading. Please ensure that you read with your child on as many occasions a week as you can. It is the most effective academic help you can provide.
