We will read whole books and extracts from texts written for a variety of purposes. For example, this term we will be reading ‘One Plastic Bag’. We will focus on developing comprehension skills whilst identifying language and techniques used by authors. We will write own texts across a variety of fiction and non-fiction genres with examples being instructional writing and persuasive adverts. This is in addition to developing technical skills in grammar, vocabulary and presentation both orally and in written form.

We will use the school calculation policy to cover the statutory areas of: Number and Place Value, Addition and Subtraction and Geometry: specifically, perimeter of a 2D shape. We will review our knowledge of column addition and subtraction and progress to using 4 digit numbers. We will focus on recognising and understanding the place value of numbers up to 4 digits. Finally, we will understand how to calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons.

We will understand and apply the principles of a varied diet as we evaluate and adapt popular recipes. This is in addition to studying food packaging labels to determine healthy snack options.
