Knowledge Organisers
English
English
This term we will be focusing on Victorian authors. We kick start our writing with poetry based on Robert Lewis Stevenson's poem for children - 'My Shadow'. Then we turn to fiction stories written by Hans Christian Anderson and Lewis Carroll. We might just meet an ugly duckling or perhaps bump into the Queen of Hearts. Who knows were our adventures will take us!
Continuing with a focus on the Victorians, we will look to non-fiction writing to explore the most famous Victorian of them all - Queen Victoria herself!
Maths
This half term we will work on the follow areas of Maths:
Number and Place Value
Addition and Subtraction
Shape
In addition to our daily maths lessons we will have a basic skills lesson to focus on skip counting leading to recall in times table facts, and build fluency in the recall of addition and subtraction facts.
To support your child at home please encourage them to play on TimesTables Rockstars and Numbots, regularly.
