Hextable Primary School

This term we will be continuing our learning of addition and subtraction, focusing on using the formal column method to add and subtract across 1s and 10s. We will then move on to multiplication and division before Christmas, where children will use their growth mindset to show off their increasing times table knowledge. We will be consolidating and building upon our mathematical skills to reason and problem-solve effectively.

Remember to keep practising your multiplication and division skills on TT Rockstars.

English

Our Power of Reading text for this term is ‘The Tin Forest’ which links perfectly to our topic. This wonderful fiction book will give the children the opportunity to empathise with a character, write letters and poems before putting our drama skills to the test when we will re-enact the story to bring it to life.

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG) will again be taught daily this term. We will use various strategies to learn each week’s spellings as well as learning about different grammatical techniques to make our writing fantastic.

History and Geography

This term, we will be continuing with our pre-historic adventures. We will travel back to The Iron Age to explore how humans lived during this time. We will begin this term with a special visit from a character linked to our English learning. Throughout the term we will learn about life in The Iron Age, looking at Celtic Roundhouses, amazing Iron Age inventions and learn all about Boudicca- The Celtic Warrior. The term will end with a classroom transformation. We will spent the day in our very own tin forest, using recycled materials to create junk modelling monsters
