Our topic this term is …
During the first half term, we will be learning about the Shang Dynasty.
The Shang Dynasty were the first of three major dynasties in Ancient China. This took place during the Bronze Age. The Shang had a class structure, with a King and Nobles at the top and slaves at the bottom. We will learn all about this class structure and consider whether we think this is fair.
Our class novels this half term: The Witches by Roald Dahl
Our behaviour focus: Terrific Transitions
Maths Focus: We start off learning all about place value. We will know how to represent numbers up to 1000 and we will then move on to partitioning and ordering numbers. We even explore numbers up 10,000!
English Focus:
In English, we will be focusing on writing two different pieces. They will both be using our class text, The Witches, as a stimulus. The first will be a recount of an event from The Witches in which the children will consolidate learning on conjunctions and fronted adverbials. The second piece will be a character description of a scary character like in The Witches. The children will learn how to write expanded noun phrases and prepositions.
