We have got some exciting texts to delve into in the Autumn term. First, we will explore the Adventures of Odysseus and the trouble he found himself in on his journey. We will use this to help us develop our knowledge of Greek mythology. We will write letters to giants, debate with Cyclops and retell their stories for the next generations to hear!
We will then read Who Let the Gods Out? by Maz Evans and look at a hilarious tale of a schoolboy who accidentally sets the Greek Gods loose in modern-day civilizations. The children will look at writing narratives and descriptions around this story.
We will also be reading a variety of fiction, non-fiction and poetry through our guided reading sessions each day and questioning our understanding of what we had read.
Maths
In Maths, we will be exploring Number and Place Value with numbers up to 1,000,000. We will be learning to read, compare and order them.
We will then move on to addition and subtracting and working on calculations that require problem-solving skills.
Throughout the term, we will be continuing to practice our timestables, number bonds and fundamental skills to make sure these are secure when we are working with bigger numbers.
