TERM 4

Welcome to Term 4! We have another exciting half-term ahead, filled with new learning, engaging activities, and plenty of opportunities for children to develop their skills across the curriculum.

English

This term, we will be reading Romans on the Rampage by Jeremy Strong, a humorous and action-packed story set in Ancient Rome. The book follows Perilus, a boy who dreams of becoming a famous charioteer, much to the dismay of his father, who wants him to be a lawyer. Alongside his mischievous talking raven, Croakbag, Perilus embarks on a series of entertaining adventures.

Through this story, children will develop their reading comprehension and writing skills by creating their own historical narratives, writing character descriptions, and producing fact files on Roman life.

 Maths

In Maths, we will continue to strengthen our understanding of multiplication and division, before moving on to fractions. This will involve learning how to find fractions of amounts, compare fractions, and recognise equivalent fractions.

💡 Daily Practice Reminder: To help consolidate learning, please ensure your child is completing:
✅ 10 minutes of IXL
✅ 10 minutes of TT Rockstars

Science

This half-term, we will be exploring nutrition and physiology. Children will learn about:
