Autumn

English, in Autumn 1, will involve reading and exploring folk tales and biographies.

We will then read examples of biographies then select the key features and write our own based around famous people. In Maths, we will continue to follow Red Rose Mastery, with a focus on reasoning and problem solving, as well as daily arithmetic and weekly multiplication practice.

Our first science unit is about healthy humans; we will look at the nutrition and exercise our bodies need to stay healthy.
