We have our usual Monday morning ukulele lesson with Mr Lawrence.

 

Spelling and grammar – we will continue to practise using the prefixes il-, im-, in- and ir-.  We will also be working on using pronouns.

 

In English we be working on features of instruction writing by looking at prepositions.   We will create our first set of instructions and decide what are the essential features.

 

In Maths we will be working on some problem solving linked to subtraction.  We are practising working through written problems step by step.  We are learning to use specific mathematical vocabulary linked to subtraction and will also be subtracting 4-digit numbers with more than one exchange.

 

Our guided reading text for this term is The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.  This text will engage the children with more complicated vocabulary and a variation of punctuation and sentence length.
