Writing

In our Literacy lessons we are exploring the poem 'The River' by Valerie Bloom. 

We will be exploring the structure of the poem and learning how to use metaphors, personification and rhyme. 

We will learn more about rivers to help us to generate ideas for our sentence stacking lessons. 

 

 

Reading

During guided reading lessons we are exploring an extract taken from 'My Brother is a Superhero' by David Solomons. 

We are practising our reading fluency skills and ensuring we read punctuation when we are reading out loud. We will be exploring the meanings of new words in context and making sense of what we read by showing the correct sequence of events.  We will be answering retrieval questions and using our inference skills with support.

In maths, we are extending our knowledge of place value. We will be looking at how to represent and partition numbers up to 1000 and then to 10,000. We will be exploring thousands, how to use number lines and beginning to use flexible partitioning.
