Termly Information:
Throughout Term 1 and 2 we have focused on consolidating basic arithmetic, building confidence and speed with number, mixed calculations and fractions.
We have also enhanced our reading by studying a range of texts and genres; we have continued to develop our comprehension skills through retrieval and inference.
In writing we have worked hard to embed a range of literary techniques and creative devices - editing and proofreading remain key focus areas.
Thank you in advance for all your additional home support, if you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Mrs Fuller or Miss Hooper via the class Dojo.
