March and April in Mr Fisher's groups

March and April

English

The children will be learning about the skills of recount writing and will write a detailed biography about the great British inventor, Thomas Edison. They will be required to carry out extensive online research to help them with their writing.

In grammar the children will be learning about connectives, prefixes and suffixes and similes and metaphors. Within the area of reading and comprehension the pupils will be focusing on 'making conclusions' using evidence they have found in a text. 

Mathematics

The main areas being taught in Maths over the next few weeks are angles, percentages and length.  There will be a variety of practical lessons to help reinforce the concepts being taught, particularly with angles and length.

Why not ask your child to explain to you some of the things they have been learning?
