Topic outline:

Literacy: In this topic we

will be reading Tell Me A
Dragon and watching King
Jack and the Dragon. From
this we will be working on
character descriptions and
settings to improve our story
writing.
Mathematics: We will be
learning about place value,
addition and subtraction.
Also, we will be learning how
to count in 2s, 3s, 5s and
10s as well as recognising
odd and even numbers.
Topic: In Science we will be
experimenting to see which
materials are the best for
keeping a baby dragon warm. We
will be going on a fun trip to
Skipton Castle to help us
learn about who lives in a
castle and what it was like to
live in a castle. Following on
from this we will learn all
about Henry VII and his wives.

story so far? What do you predict will
happen? Which character is your
favourite and why? How do you think
this character feels and why?
