    Term 6 Week 1

    In English this week, we are going to use all the story writing techniques we have learned so far to write an section of our class quest. Finally, we are going to explore how we could use direct speech to add a conversation between the main characters.

    In Maths, we are going to focus on completing subtraction calculations. We are going to revisit the techniques that we learned last term and then explore how we can expand our repertoire of formal and informal methods of subtraction.

    In Time and Place we are going to use the Bayeux Tapestry to make historical discoveries about the Norman Invasion of England. We are also going to consider the extent to which we can reliably use the tapestry as a source of historical information.

    We are also going to complete P.E, R.E, and Design and Art activities.

    Term 5 Week 6

    In English this week, we are going to write a section of narrative from our class quest. First, we will add adverbial phrases and conjunctions to Mr M’s simple action sentences. Next, we will explore how we can use special writing techniques designed to show and tell the audience how the main character is feeling. We will finish the week by completing a final draft of our chapter.

    In Maths, we will be focusing on mental subtraction. We will explore how we can use our understanding of number bonds, place value, counting and bridging through 10 to solve subtraction problems. We will also consider the most efficient method to use.

    In Time and Place, we will use the Bayeux tapestry as a source of historical information. We will look at it closely and use it to make historical discoveries. However, we will also think carefully about how reliable it is as a source of information.

    In Art and Design, we will continue to build our moving castles. In R.E. we will continue to learn about Judaism. We will also continue to learn hockey skills in P.E.
