Miss Colligan
Slide2Autumn termThis term we will be learning all about the World War 2. In English we will be reading lots of texts around our History topic and working towards writing diary entries and biographies. We will also be working on developing our grammar and spelling skills to help with both our reading and writing. In Maths we will begin by looking at the place value of numbers and the four operations (add, subtract, multiplication and division). We will be looking at how to answer reasoning questions and problems using these skills. We will also be answering lots of questions in the style of the SATs.
In Science we will be looking at living things including animals and humans. This will include looking at the circulatory system and how to live a healthy lifestyle.
