For Term 5, our class text - '101 Dalmatians' by Dodie Smith - will help us to explore the conflict between good and evil as Pongo and Missis fight to save their puppies from Ms. De Vil! We will also be reading 'The Secret of Black Rock' by Joe Todd-Stanton as inspiration for our own adventure narrative, as well as creating a detailed biography on the life of Thanet's own Joss Snelling.

 

Maths         

In maths, children will be returning to our fractions topic and exploring how to add, subtract and partition wholes. They will also be developing their understanding of money with addition and subtraction to find change, as well as building on skills to help tell the time on analogue and digital clocks, working out durations and solving time problems.
