Autumn Term
English
Our first text will be The Lost Happy Endings, a modern fairy tale, written by Carol Ann Duffy. The expected writing outcomes are writing in role, a short conversation, retelling a short story and an information text about fairy tales.
We will also be reading a class novel and poems which will be selected by the class teacher in addition to our texts used in English lessons.

- Place value (up to 4 digits)
- Formal and mental methods for addition and subtraction, multiplication and division
