Term 4 Learning
This term, we will be working towards creating a fiction piece of writing with an adventure focus. The children will continue their learning about all things Space and build on last term's learning to deepen their understanding. We will be using the book 'The Man on The Moon' by Andy Kaufman to inspire our learning for the term. As we venture later into the term, with our new knowledge on Space and the Solar System, the children will work on creating an adventure story using key elements of narrative and Language Through Colour.

In our Maths, we will continue to use the White Rose scheme of learning to guide or journey and progress. The term we will be continuing to develop our knowledge of addition and subtraction of 3 digit numbers to 1,000. We will use manipulatives including Dienes, number lines and place value charts to deepen our knowledge of place value when adding and subtracting two numbers. The children will work to spot relationships between hundreds, tens and ones to support their mathematical working when answering questions.

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.
