This term our learning will centre around Race to The Frozen North by Catherine Johnson.
We’ll be re-telling the story, as well as writing newspaper reports and diary entries from different character’s perspectives. By exploring different writing purposes, the children will continue to develop and consolidate the skills they have been taught in the previous year.
Spelling continues to be a huge focus in MP2 and we will be looking specifically at words from the Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling list. We appreciate any support we get at home in practising these spellings and working towards earning our spelling badges.

Reading is a massively important skill that enables us to access so much and learn new things.
Children need to practise this skill as much as they can and we expect children to read to an adult every night at home. Their daily reading needs to be recorded in their reading record and signed by parents. Reading records are checked every day.
There are so many wonderful books to read. Click on the lists below to find a new book to enjoy.
Learning to spell is hugely important as well. We will be learning different spelling rules throughout the year. Your child could achieve a shiny spelling badge for each list of spellings they learn to spell.
