Autumn 2

We are mathematicians

In maths this half term we will be learning about addition and subtraction. We will be applying our place value knowledge to understand column method for 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 ‘The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.

We will be learning how to persuasive speeches and science fiction stories.

We will be learning about expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, onomatopoeias, similes, rhetorical questions, paragraphs and many other techniques that will make our writing fantastic!

We are athletes

This half term, we will be doing dodgeball in our PE lessons. These lessons will be inside in the hall. Make sure you have appropriate kit in school.

We are scientists

Our science unit for the half term is energy where we will be learning about light. The big question we will be investigating is 'How do we see the lights at Goose Fair?'  We will be learning about how we see lights, how lights are reflected, how shadows are created and many other interesting things.

We are geographers

In geography we will be building our knowledge of places in the United Kingdom by comparing Nottingham and The Peak District. We will look closely at maps to be able to find differences in the human and physical features of both these places.
