Maths – This week it’s all about developing our problem solving skills. We shall be starting to focus on number and place value, whilst working on systematic approaches to solving numerical problems.

English – 3, 2, 1… BLAST OFF! This week we are focusing on independently writing a science fiction text. Special consideration is being given to the writing process, including planning, writing and editing.

Reading – We want to know what our classes’ favourite reading books are so throughout the week we will be asking them to complete a book review to encourage a member of the class to read their book.

PSHE – As Howard is a Rights Respecting School we shall be focusing specifically on writing our class charter together assessing what our rights and responsibilities are within the classroom. We have also planned a selection of team challenges for Friday afternoon where we shall be combining the classes and focusing on our core values.
