Term 3 Learning
This term, we will be working towards creating a non-fiction piece of writing. The children will learn about all things Space as we discover the planets, missions of astronauts and all of the exciting events that have taken place in our Solar System. We will be using the book 'The Darkest Dark' by the astronaut Chris Hadfield to inspire our learning for the term. As we venture later into the term, with our new knowledge on Space and the Moon Landing, the children will work on creating a newspaper article using key elements of non-fiction, including headings, subheadings and captions.
In our Maths, we will continue to use the White Rose scheme of learning to guide or journey and progress. The term will begin with developing our place value knowledge of numbers to 1,000. The children will apply their knowledge of partitioning numbers to 100 to explore the composition of numbers to 1,000 by considering hundreds, tens and ones. We will then move on to comparing, ordering and estimating numbers to 1,000 to build secure foundations for addition and subtraction to 1,000.

Home Learning
Please continue to read with your child each day at home. You can use the Language Through Colour prompts and questions to support your child when answering questions about the story.
Your child may also have spellings provided by their teachers to practise at home. Quick recall of these, using them in sentences and in writing will all support your child to secure their knowledge of these words.
Practising number facts such as number bonds to 20 and the 2, 5 and 10 times tables will support your child in retaining key knowledge. The links below will provide some activities to support this.
Please also explore our SRP page with further information about the interventions that your child may be involved in.
