Autumn 1
In English we will begin by writing an opening of a mystery story using The Woman in White, written by Wilkie Collins, as inspiration. We will then be writing our own blog posts.
In maths we will be focusing on decimal fractions. We will identify tenths and hundredths as part of a whole and describe and write decimal numbers with tenths and hundredths in different ways. We will then move onto money and negative numbers.
Please see the curriculum map here.
