English and Maths information:

In English the children will finish writing their superhero stories and then edit and improve their work. The children are very excited  to share these with you at our project outcome! They will also be writing a recount of their superhero day and an evaluation of their project.

In maths we will be learning to name and describe properties of 2D and 3D shapes. We will encourage children to use keys words such as sides, edges, vertices and faces in their descriptions. The children will also be learning about lines of symmetry.

We are focusing on number formation as we have noticed many children are still reversing their numbers or starting and finishing in the incorrect place. Please can you ensure that your child is able to write the digits 1-9 correctly and practice this at home.

Other curriculum news:

The children will be making their superhero capes this week in preparation for our catwalk on Tuesday. They will also take part in a range of superhero activities on Tuesday as part of the finale to our project.
