Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you had a lovely half term break. The theme for this term is Dinosaurs and Mighty Mountains. Below is a

description of what we will be learning in the subjects and suggestions on how to help children with their learning.

English: Power of Reading Text: Alligators and Crocodiles, Rhythm and Rhyme, Instructions-We will learn that steps

need to be in the correct order and use time connectives. We will be looking at ‘how do to’ books, recipe books,

explanation and procedures. Please encourage your child to look at these types of books at home. After each trip we

will write a recount, step by step, about what we did and saw.

Extended Writing: Instructions and Recount.

measures; fractions, dividing with reminders; rounding numbers up and down: four compass directions and

multiplication.

learning words like erosion, permeability and particles. We will link in the theme of Mountains and Dinosaurs with

these activities.

PSHE: The overall theme is ‘Good to be me.’ The sub-themes include: doing something to be proud of; responding

assertively; helping someone with a worry; stop and think when angry.

This term’s trips are not finalised yet, but information will be sent home as soon as they are booked.
