Creatures and Critters

During our transition topic from Year 4, we will be exploring life cycles of different creatures (mammals, amphibians, insects and birds), creating our own minibeast soft toy based on existing products and classfying the different creatures.

English

Our book for this topic is 'Two Bad Ants' where the children will be able to explore settings from an ant perspective. We will be looking at developing and writing our own ending to the story. The skills we will be practising are paragraphing, speech and using adverbial openers.

Maths

In our maths lessons, we will be focusing on place value for numbers including 4 and 5 digits. Then we will apply this knowledge in a variety of different representation and using to support us when we learn to round.
