We use a knowledge organiser for every project in every year group. It is a helpful way for children and families to see the key knowledge that children will learn. This key knowledge helps the children ask more questions and then find out more information.

It would be helpful to talk with your child about this knowledge organiser. As the project develops, they will be able to share more knowledge. Thank you!

We will be learning about the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Some of the areas we will be focusing on include:

• adding and subtracting numbers up to 999
• multiplication within the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables
• division using the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables

Please please keep practising times tables at home.

When we finish The Boy who Grew Dragons, we will begin reading Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.

Some areas of grammar and punctuation we’ll be learning include:

• identifying and writing complex sentences that start with the main clause
• identifying and writing apostrophes for singular possession
• identifying and writing adverbs of place and time
• writing subordinate clauses that start with: because, when, if, that
