Through revision, consolidation, practical activities, games, problem solving and investigations we experience the areas of Number, Shape & Space, Data Handling & Measure. We recognise and promote the importance of Times Tables, Mental Maths and the opportunities for real life maths. 
Literacy Talking & Listening Although an important element of Literacy by its nature, it has a very cross curricular emphasis. We encourage all pupils to contribute to discussion across the curriculum and to realise that every opinion is valuable. Drama, role play, group work and assemblies all provide pupils with the opportunity to become competent, public speakers and listeners.
Reading Through our school and class libraries pupils have ready access to reading material. Through their group and class novels they have the opportunity to read further for enjoyment, comprehension and learning. Writing Through the various formats of writing pupils will put their punctuation, grammar and spelling skills into practice in either imaginative, informative or descriptive ways.
