We are looking forward to starting our summer term with some fantastic topics and learning!

Writing:

Our learning in English this term will be inspired by our History topic of the Ancient Egyptians. The children shall recall their understanding of non-chronological reports by writing about the importance of the River Nile and they will also learn about legends through studying the Legend of Osiris.

Reading:

We will be continuing to read our non-fiction text: MEGA (The Most Enormous Animals Ever) before moving on to reading about myths in the book – Tales of Ancient Egypt.

Maths:

We will be continuing our work around fractions and then moving on to reading both analogue and digital time and all things related to money.
