Our P.E. slot is on a Monday afternoon.  Please refer to the link on this website for P.E. uniform information.

 

When do we bring our reading books and reading records in?

The children should keep their reading records up to date and will be expected to bring them, and their reading book, in every day even if they have not finished their book. This will allow us to monitor how much your child is reading at home. We would like parents listen to their child read, initial their reading record and to discuss their book with them at least once a week. We expect your child to read for a minimum of 30 minutes each evening. This will really help them to make good progress in all aspects of the curriculum.

Curriculum information:

 

R.E.

 

This term, we will be reflecting on being in how we show our love to God and God's unconditional love for us, how people dedicate their lives to God, advent.  Within our learning, we will also study important Saint days and holy days.

 

English:

 

We will start the year by looking at the theme of barriers using the wonderful text,' The wall in the middle of the book.'  After writing a wonderful narrative based on this, we will then dive straight into the world of conflict and chaos using the tragic tale of Macbeth to support our learning. During our reading sessions, we will be focusing on developing our comprehension skills by looking wide range of text.

 

Maths:

 

At the start of the year, we will be embedding and extending our knowledge of place value.  We will then be looking at the four operations vital to mathematics.  The end of the term will find us revisiting all our prior knowledge of fractions and looking at applying this knowledge in relation to problem solving.

 

 

Topic:

 

In History and Geography, we will be studying the world at war, focusing on World War 2.  We will be focusing on life for those at home.

 

In our computing units – we will be designing and using spreadsheets.  Very excitingly, we will be making our own websites.  Art lessons will find us looking at the artist Paul Nash and war art.  During DT, we will be designing and making our lanterns for the Christmas lantern parade.

 

Science:

 

In our science unit on animals including humans, the focus is on our bodies, especially the circulatory system.  We will be learning how to keep our bodies healthy.

 

P.S.H.E.

 

The focus of our studies will be life in the wider world - looking at changes to our bodies and minds as we grow older.
