In Literacy, we will be focussing on the key text: ‘The night Pirates’.

“Down, down, down the dark, dark street they came. Up, up, up the dark, dark house they climbed. Stealthy as shadows, quiet as mice. Only the moon was watching when they arrived. Only the moon was watching when they left. Only the moon & one little boy.”

Tom is awoken by a band of rough, tough little girl pirates, so what does he do? He joins their ranks! Together they set sail in search of treasure. But what will happen when they meet a crew of rough, tough grown-up pirates?

Our writing will be in the form of recounts, poems and instructions.

In Maths we will be revisiting place value to 100, learning how to partition larger numbers into tens and ones. This will lead on to further work on addition and subtraction, really concreting our knowledge ready for Year 2!

Science this term is about SEASONAL CHANGE.
