Writing – Students will develop their sentence-writing skills by using adverbial phrases, a wider range of conjunctions and varied sentence lengths. They will create diary entries written from the main character’s perspective in the text, How to Train Your Dragon.
Mathematics – Students will deepen their understanding of decimals to tenths and hundredths. They will learn vertical addition and subtraction, and continue to practise a variety of multiplication and division strategies. In addition, they will explore concepts in chance, data and finding missing values.
