Maths
In our maths lessons this half-term, we will be learning about multiplication and division – including multiples, factors, prime numbers, square numbers, cube numbers and multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000!
We will also be beginning our first units on fractions – looking at equivalence.
Reading
In our shared reading lessons, we will be developing our skills by reading and understanding texts across a range of genres - both fiction and non-fiction. Our main focus will be on understanding vocabulary and improving our inference and retrieval skills.
Writing
In our writing lessons, we will be using When the mountains roared as a stimulus to write a magazine campaign article persuading people to adopt a snow leopard, as well as writing a discussion text, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages to animals being in a zoo!
We will be working on many persuasive writing features and including direct and indirect speech.
