About our class...

We are a very special class where we all learn to be individuals but also how to work together as a team.  We work hard to overcome all the things that we find difficult and we support each other to develop our confidence, resilience and determination!

We love learning new things and we enjoy the practical side of learning, especially when we can do this in lots of different ways.  We enjoy learning and working together, even though we are all at different stages in our learning. We help and support each other and that helps us all grow together!

Take a peek at our learning...

Autumn term

Spring term

Upcoming learning in the summer term

In English we will first be looking at diary recounts using a text called 'Raysha in the tower' from this we will develop many skills including expanded noun phrases. We will also work on our grammar skills such as apostrophes for omission and adverbials of time, manner and place. Following this we will be working on an explanation text using the grammarsaurus text 'how does the digestive system work?' which links wonderfully to our summer topic 'burps, bottoms and bile'. 

As always children will continue to use Lexia, Reading plus and Accelerated reader to support our learning in English.

In Maths, we will be:

• Multiplication and Division
• Fractions
• Time

As always children will continue to use TTRS and Freckle to support our learning in Maths.

We are a Rights Respecting School. This half term, we will be looking at Article 32: the right to protection from harmful work.
