Term 1

English

This term we have started exploring Poetry on a Theme. In this genre we will discuss, identify and use different literary devices including similes, rhyming and alliteration. We will use our skills to produce a poem on the theme of emotions.

Our guided reading text this term is the wonderful 'Greta and the Giants'.

We will continue to read a range of our own books both at home and at school. This will include regularly reading Monster Phonics books and/or completing a quiz on Accelerated Reader after each book. Each child is working towards their personalised reading target.

Remember points mean prizes!

Maths 

In Term 1, we will develop our understanding of place value.

(Y3) 

• Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100; find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number.
• Recognise the place value of each digit in a 3-digit number (100s, 10s, 1s).
• Compare and order numbers up to 1,000.
• Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations.
• Read and write numbers up to 1,000 in numerals and in words.
• Solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas.

(Y4) 

• Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1,000.
• Find 1,000 more or less than a given number.
• Count backwards through 0 to include negative numbers.
• Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (1,000s, 100s, 10s and 1s).
• Order and compare numbers beyond 1,000.
• Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations. Round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000.
• Solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers

Every week, each child will complete homework tasks to practise their place value and number skills and knowledge.
