Term 1 - Our World: The Greenhouse Effect

Our Learning

In English this term, we will be learning about narrative, poetry and formal writing as well as creating our own pieces of writing after each topic. We will link our geography learning about renewable energy in the UK and the greenhouse effect with our creative writing.

Our reading text is ‘This morning I met a whale’ by Michael Morpurgo. We will be working on skills such as comprehension - PEE, inference, retrieval, summary, vocabulary which is the use of dictionary to understand meaning and thesaurus to consider alternatives, role play, conscience alley, debates in character as well as prediction.  

This term in maths, our focus will be on numbers – place value, addition and subtraction as well as statistics. This will also include word problems - reasoning and problem solving.
