Reading and Writing

We have been working on creating our own opening and build up to an adventure story.  Within this unit we have been looking at features of writing such as; alliteration, similes and personification.

We are continuing our daily reading sessions to improve their comprehension and discussion skills.

Maths

In maths, we have been looking at division. Children have been learning how to divide a 2 digit and 3 digit number by a 1 digit number, including remainders.

Your children will be bringing home with them a pamphlet for parents explaining more about the times tables check in June 2022.  Children need to continue working on learning times tables at home.  Below there are some very useful websites to help them with their learning and understanding.
