Our stories in English this half term are Monkey Puzzle, The Tiger Who Came To Tea and Where The Wild Things Are. During Monkey Puzzle, children will write their own animal poems. When reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea the children will write information booklets on tigers and finally when we read Where The Wild Things Are children will make their own characters for the story.
In maths we will be looking at subtraction before moving onto place value to 50. We will then go onto measures where we look at height and weight and volume and mass before eventually starting multiplication where we look at counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
