Curriculum
Please see what we will be learning about this year on our year group overview.
To find out what knowledge we need to learn and remember for this half term, please see our knowledge organisers.
This half term, our English lessons will focus on writing to inform. We will be looking at various non-fiction texts to see how information books are structured and how information is ordered. Over the coming weeks, the children will be introduced to questions sentences and we will be looking at what a sentence is and how they are punctuated. As part of this we will look at question starters and practise using these.
Once the children are confident using question sentences, they will write their own fact file on penguins using questions as sub headings.

Homework
It is really important to read with your child at least 3 times a week. Reading stories on a regular basis helps children develop a sense of the story structure and fires their imagination. It really does make a difference!
Every half term a Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs) focus for Mathematics will be set, along with suggestions of how to practice these at home. A little and often approach is suggested to be taken here. You will be amazed at the confidence it will give your child within their mathematical learning.
Additional activities, suggestions and recommendations will be sent home for each topic, to support your child's development.
