Numeracy

In numeracy, we continue to encourage all of the children

to learn all of their times tables. We will continue to

develop skills in the following areas.

• Written methods: addition and subtraction of

decimals

• Ordering, partitioning and rounding numbers anddecimals to 2 places

• Solving one- and two-step word problems involvingnumbers, money or measures

• Mental methods and recall: sums, differences,

doubles and halves of decimals

• Factors, common multiples

• Patterns, relationships and properties of numbers

and shapes

• Representing a problem using calculations or

diagrams

• Visualising 3-D and 2-D shapes

• Properties of 3-D and 2-D shapes

• Nets of solids

• Using a calculator

Literacy:

Our first unit is ‘Poetic Style’. We will be

focusing on the following skills:

• As a class and in groups, children hear, read and

study in depth a range of poems from twosignificant writers, Pie Corbett and Valerie

Bloom. They will explore some of the many

elements and features of these poems which

together constitute the writer's distinctive

style, including language effects, pattern and

form, subjects, themes and meaning. The children

will be encouraged to respond to and perform the

poems in a variety of ways.

• The children will write their own free verse

poems, inspired by those they have read, and

borrowing, melding and adapting elements and

features from these in order to begin to develop

a style of their own.
