This Half Term

English and Reading

Our key text that we will be focusing on this term is 'The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig' by Eugene Trivizas. 

This book will be inspiring our writing within our English lessons and we shall also be picking the text apart in our reading lessons (RAID). In our reading lessons, we will be discussing the different comprehension components and also discussing the impacts that the story has on us as the reader.

Maths

In maths this term, we will be deepening our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction. We will be looking at the value of each digit within a three-digit number (hundreds, tens and ones). Using the column method, we will be adding and subtracting two numbers with and without exchanging.
