| English | Reading | Writing |
We will be using two different fiction texts and three non-fiction texts to drive our reading lessons next half term. We will be studying an abridged version of The Wind in the Willows, the classic version of the The Wind in the willows and looking at information texts about the Romans.
As we study these texts, the children will be practising their ability to retrieve key information from texts, use evidence to draw inferences about characters and use evidence to support their responses to questions. | We will be continuing our journey of using Talk for Writing as a tool to inspire creativity and enthusiasm in writing. The children will be learning two narratives and they will then innovate them with their own ideas ensuring they include all the grammar learning within the journey. |

The children will then explore recognising and using money, using and reading simple charts and graphs and finding and calculating length and perimeter.
