Who were the first Britons?

This half term we will be discovering who were the first Britons, exploring life in the Stone Age times. Children will be reading and exploring the settings in ‘Stone Age Boy’ and other books based on our topic. They will look at characters and how to describe a setting using adjectives, expanded noun phrases and a range of Alan Peat sentence structures. Children will then write instructions on how to wash a woolly mammoth!

In Maths, we will focus on place value, Number lines to 1000, Ordering and comparing numbers as well as also adding and subtracting 1 digit, 2 digit and 3 digit numbers. We will also be revising our knowledge of the 2 times tables, working on speeding up our recall of facts.
