Spellings for week beginning 16.09.2024 

English

In our English lessons we are exploring the text 'Skellig' by David Almond. 

As part of our reading phase, we have looked closely at each of the characters that have been introduced and made inferences about the characters. Following on from this, we have written character descriptions of Mina and The Creature. 

In the coming weeks we will be getting creative in inventing our own creature to write into our own version of the story. 

Maths

In maths this half term we will be following Red Rose Mastery as our scheme of work for maths. 

The first unit is place value.

Science

In Science this half term, we will be learning about Living things and their habitats - classification. 

The children will know and be able to:

• Describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals. 

• Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics. 

• Living things can be grouped into micro-organisms, plants and animals. 

• Vertebrates can be grouped as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. 

• Invertebrates can be grouped as snails and slugs, worms, spiders and insects. 

• Plants can be grouped as flowering plants (incl. trees and grasses) and non-flowering plants (such as ferns and mosses).
