Curriculum Coverage

In Maths, we will be focusing on using column addition and subtraction to answer one and two-step problems. These problems will involve exchanging and borrowing, which pupils will gradually build their confidence around. They will also be measuring and calculating the area of shapes. Pupils will also continue to develop their time table knowledge to work out multiplication problems.

In English, our focused work will be based around the story Leon and the Place Between by Angela McAllister. Pupils will be looking at how they can plan a narrative, by creating settings, characters and a plot to base their story around. Pupils will continue to develop their grammar skills, such as singular and plural and correct use of apostrophes.

In Science, we will be looking at light and shadow. We will identify different natural and man-made light sources, and how reflective surfaces can help us to see better in the dark. We will also investigate how shadows are made and how shadows can change shape and size. We will also look at different materials and the impact they have on light, like transparent, translucent and opaque.

In our Geography topic, we will be focusing on the Marvellous Midlands. We will identify the regions and counties that make up the midlands, as well as major cities and towns. We will compare Woodhouse Eaves with Leicester, and also discover how Leicester has changed over the years.
