English
In English, we will continue with the hard work we have been doing in preparation for the KS2 writing assessment. We will start by exploring poetry and how personification can be used to build a bigger picture. We will then move onto writing a recount biography and exploring how a range of features can help build cohesion.
How you can help your child?
Encourage your child to read their school reading book and ask them questions about the book which they are reading. Also, please encourage your child to log on to Reading+ at home, to help them level up and develop their reading skills.
Maths
In Maths, we will be revising key concepts in preparation for our end of KS2 assessments (SATs). We will be looking at a range of topics and exploring past SAT questions to help prepare us for the real thing.
How you can help your child?
Practice times tables and division facts regularly. Encourage your child to log on to Sumdog and TT Rock Stars to practice their multiplication facts and battle against their friends to become a Rock Star champion!
Geography
This term our theme is Mountains.
This term our theme is ‘Mountains’. We will look at the mountain ranges around the world including how mountains are formed and the key features of such ranges. We will also look at the tourism impact on the mountains themselves.
How you can help your child?
Please keep asking your children what they have been learning in their theme lessons as discussion at home is very important.
