Spring 1

Our third topic ‘The Victorians’ will take us back to the reign of Queen Victoria. We will be learning about how the Victorians changed the way people lived and how the industrial revolution started. We will be looking at life in the workhouses and this will be supported by our class novel “Street Child”.  

In English, we will be  writing a story opening to set the scene, a non-fiction text to support life as a Victorian workhouse child/orphan and a book review of Street child. In Maths, we will be focusing on Multiplication and Division with a clear emphasis on using a formal written method. The children have 'TT Rockstars' and 'My Maths' log-ins in the front of their planners to support their timetables and Maths learning.
