Make sure you are accessing online material that is relevant for your age and tell an adult at home if you come across something that is not suitable for you, or if someone is trying to contact/talk to you that is not someone you know.

Elm Class Curriculum Information
English We will begin the new school year by exploring a well known story – ‘Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. The book tells the story of a mysterious iron giant whose destructive quest for food alarms the local farming community. The story is told through the eyes of a young boy, Hogarth, who forms a friendship with the Iron Man. In time the Iron Man turns from villain to hero as the world faces a bigger threat. The children will be developing their narrative writing skills as we focus on this text.
Maths During the first half term we will be looking at number and place value as well as addition and subtraction. The children will still have access to their TTRockstars and Numbots accounts so any additional practise at home would be greatly appreciated!
R.E. This half term, children will be looking at ‘Creation’. As well as familiarising themselves with the Christian story of creation, the children will be reflecting on the important aspects for Christians and non Christians living in the world today.
