In Pavender Class we cover all subjects within the National Curriculum. We focus on the enjoyment of our learning as well as challenging ourselves in all subjects. Everyone works really hard to achieve their best in all areas of school life.  Our literacy work is often cross-curricular and makes links to work in science, geography and history. In Maths, we build on and develop skills learnt in previous years. We cover the four methods of calculation, then moving on to problem solving. In addition to this, we study data handling, shape space and measure. We do our best to give children practical experiences in Maths for example through cooking and measuring.
