YEAR 1
In English we will be writing our own stories, based on the book ‘Toys in Space’. We will focus on writing correctly punctuated main clauses.
In Maths we will be learning number bonds up to 20. We will be linking this to addition.
YEAR 2
Year 2 are using conjunctions to join main clauses this week. We are basing our Literacy learning around the story ‘The Dark’ which is based on a little boy who learns how to be less afraid of the darkness in his house. In Maths, we are subtracting on number lines using our number bonds to bridge multiples of 10.

In English, we are going to still focus on using conjunctions and we will have a look at how to use fronted adverbials in our writing.
In Maths, we are going to spend some more time on division and begin to recognise fractions towards the end of the week.
YEAR 4
In English we will be concentrating on non fiction texts.
In maths we will be looking converting different units of time.
YEAR 5
Year 5 will be continuing their work on Fractions looking at how to find fractions of amounts and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions. In English, we will be developing our writing skills by adding conjunctions to the middle and the start of sentences.

As well as all of this, we are really looking forward to our Reading day, on Friday!
