What Are We Learning?

Maths

Through ‘Maths, No Problem!, we will be exploring money, 2D and 3D shapes, time, and volume. We will work on our fluency in these areas, develop our reasoning skills and apply these skills to problem solving in order to fully master each area.

English

In Reading lessons, we will be reading ‘The Hodgeheg’ by Dick King-Smith. Not only we will be developing our fluency and expression when reading, but also further consolidating our reading skills in retrieving, predicting, sequencing, understanding vocabulary, inference and explaining using a range of fiction and non-fiction texts.
