Literacy
Over the next couple of weeks you will start a literacy scheme based on the story Firebird which is a traditional tale from Russia. When golden apples go missing from Tsar Vaslav’s apple tree, it falls to his youngest son, Ivan, to capture the mysterious firebird who is found to be stealing the golden apples. Helped by a gigantic wolf who has the power to change form, Ivan goes on many adventures on his quest to bring the firebird back to his father. Follow the PowerPoint which will explain the task for each day's lessons.

Numeracy
This week the focus for numeracy is on translations. Again follow the PowerPoint for each lesson, which gives explanations and examples.
