English
In reading this term we will be using ‘The Plot on the Pyramid’ as our key focus. We will use this to explore: the meaning of words, inference, summarising and retrieving relevant information from the text.
In writing this term we will be writing instructions for mummification, writing suspense stories, compare tales from the UK and Egypt and writing a non-chronological report on the Ancient Egyptians.
Spellings should be revised regularly and learnt in preparation for Spelling Tests on a Friday. Check the lists online.
Spelling Tests are on Friday mornings after having one week to learn the words.
Maths
In Maths this term we will be exploring multiplication and division, money, statistics, length and perimeter and fractions.
