Autumn 1

We are mathematicians

In maths this half term we will be learning about place value and addition and subtraction. We will also be continuing to practice previously learned concepts in our maths blast sessions.

We are writers

Our English lessons this half term will be inspired by the book ‘Malala's Magic Pencil' by Malala Yousafzai.

We will be learning how to write poems, biographies and adventure stories.

We will be learning and including exciting adjectives, expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, facts, paragraphs, commas and many other techniques that will make our writing fantastic!

We are athletes

This half term, we will be doing basketball in our PE lessons. These lessons will be outside on the playground so make sure you have appropriate kit.

We are scientists

Our science unit for the half term is animals including humans where we will be learning about the human body. The big question we will be investigating is 'Why do animals have skeletons?'  We will be learning the names for bones and muscles in the human body as well as investigating if all animals have skeletons.

We are geographers

In geography we will be building our knowledge of the United Kingdom and places within it. We will look closely at maps and atlases and be able to find and locate key human and physical features. We will focus specifically on maps of Nottinghamshire and be locating key features in our local county.
