English

We are starting our dragon topic by reading the book, ‘The Egg Box Dragon’ by Richard Adams. We will be making our own egg box dragon (please provide one egg box for your child to make this, see reminders below). We will be predicting the next part of the story and exploring the different characters through role play.

Maths

We are using a place value chart to help us partition numbers into different combinations of tens and ones.

Topic

In Geography, we are learning to draw our own sketch maps and recognise key landmarks in our local environment.

In Science, we are comparing the suitability of different materials for different uses.

In Computing, we are learning to search the internet safely to find results suitable for children.

Homework

We are learning to write numerals to 100 in words. Please practise these on the sheet.

Please complete the handwriting sheet with the children’s weekly spellings on. Please also learn these spellings for the Friday quiz.
