Term 6: What did the Romans do for us?

English

In English, our writing will be based around our History topic about the invasion and conquest of Britain by the Romans and will be non-fiction based.  We will be researching and writing non-chronological reports about different aspects of Roman life in Britain.

We will continue to work hard to join our handwriting and improve the presentation of work.

The children will continue to be given spellings to learn every Monday. They will  write the words in their home/school reading books to practise at home as well as  every day at school, before a test on Friday.  We will also continue to explore different patterns and use dictionaries to check spellings.

Home school reading books are checked every Friday and children who have read at least five times will then be entered into a raffle to win a small prize.  Please remember to sign the home/school book every time you hear your child read.

Maths

We will continue to work on geometry at the start of term 6, before moving onto measuring mass and capacity.  We will also practise telling the time to the nearest minute and compare times and durations of events.

In all areas of maths, the children will be encouraged to explain their reasoning and discuss their work using appropriate vocabulary.

We will continue to develop our mental maths skills.  This will including practising times tables, counting in groups of 3,4, 6 8 and 50 and addition and subtraction facts for 10, 20 and 100.
