We will be looking at texts such as 'Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish, Take Me To Mrs Coles, Stone Age Boy and How to Wash a Wolly Mammoth. We will be introducing key grammatical skills and how to integrate them into our creative Big Writes!!
Numeracy-
It is back to recapping lots of important place value moving into working with thousands too! We will be learning how to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers using a formal written method for quick adding. We will also be looking at how to calculate the perimeter.

Science this term is all about 'Animals Including Humans'. We will be learning about what nutrients we need and how much. We will be looking at the functions of a skeleton and different types of skeleton too!

This will be cross-curricular with both our History and Geography. During our Pre-History topic we will be making fossils, clay pots and lots of Stonehenge DT and art.
