Autumn 1:

This half term we will be answering the question "Could you survive the Stone Age"for our topic. We will be looking at periods within the Stone Age and also learning about rocks.  We are hoping to have a special visitor in this term to help us learn more about rocks and fossils. 

Autumn 2:

During this half term, we will be looking at a healthy balanced diet.  We will be learning what our body needs to keep us healthy and about our skeleton and muscles.  We have already recreated artwork by Giuseppe Arcimboldo and have enjoyed looking at Supertato by Sue Hendra and Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen - which made us very hungry before lunch! We are excited to read other book linked to our topic.

Spring 1:

Over the Spring 1 half term, we will be learning all about the Romans!  We will be learning about all of their historic achievements through enquiry and research, and will analyse the impact they have made on life in Britain today.  Our English will build on this as we write stories to entertain based on the book 'A Fatal Fire' by Terry Deary.  In Maths, we will start the half term by looking at equal groups, multiplication and division.  We also hope to get very creative this half term, embedding our historic knowledge through a creative lens as we design and make Roman mosaics and pottery! 

If you need to chat to us about anything, we will be out on the playground after school each day or, if you need a little longer, please make an appointment either via the office or send a message on Dojo.
