Maths Focus: This term we start by focusing on Place Value and consolidating our knowledge before moving onto Addition, Subtraction and Statistics.
English Focus: In English, we will be focusing on consolidating our learning on Expanded Noun Phrases and Conjunctions through a setting description using our class text, Farther, as a stimulus. We are also improving our formal language and use of fronted adverbials by writing letters to those that were affected by the Paddy Train Crash.
