2024-2025 - Term 3

 

English

 

This term in English, we are excited to read two texts about exploration, a fiction and a non-fiction text.   Through reading instruction lessons we will continue to focus on fluency through use of our reading 'EARS'  We will build on our previous reading of non-fiction and further explore the features that support readers to gather information.  In 'The Pugs of the Frozen North' we will look at how the author lets the reader know what characters are feeling in different ways.

 

 

 

Following our learning about Shackleton's exciting journey we shall be creating Antarctic survival guides.  We shall learn about the features of these unusual instructions and then plan and write our own.  Look out for the final versions!  

 

 

Maths

This term in Maths, we will begin by revisiting and extending our place value knowledge, supporting our number knowledge.  We will revisit addition and subtraction skills with numbers up to 3 and 4 digits before building upon our fractions learning by comparing and ordering fractions in year 3 and adding and subtracting fractions in year 4.   Through engaging activities and problem-solving tasks, children will build a strong foundation in these key mathematical concepts.

 

You can support our learning at home by encouraging us to access Times Table Rockstars and helping us learn our KIRFs.
