This half term we will be look at the book ‘Grandad's Secret Giant’. We will be using various genres of writing to explore new vocabulary and learn new writing skills such as:

• Using expanded noun phrases to describe and specify
• Using suborination (because, when, if that) and co-ordination (and, but)
• adding suffixes to spell longer words e.g. -ment and -ful

English – Reading

During our reading lessons we will be looking at the book ‘Grimm's Fairytales’. We will continue to work on using what we have read to make predictions as well as looking at our favourite words and phrases from the book. We will build comprehension skills by asking and answering questions about what we have read.

Maths

During our Maths lessons this half term we will be looking at weight, volume and temperature. We will look at reading scales accurately and measuring weight and capacity. We will also look at a range of problem solving techqniques.

Coastlines and The Seaside. 

During topic lessons we will be looking at 'Coastlines' and 'The Seaside'. We will expand our knowledge of the World using maps to look at continents, Oceans and locating the UK on a map. We will expand our geographical vocabulary and look at geographical similarities and differences between locations.
