We are Mathematicians

After, we will be learning how to add and subtract fractions as well as finding fractions of a set of objects,  

We are Writers

Our English lessons this half term will be inspired by the book ‘The one and only Ivan' by Katherine Applegate.

We will be learning how to write non-chronological report and adventure stories.

We will be recapping the techniques we have already learnt this year, such as speech, subordinating conjunctions and fronted adverbials.

We are Athletes

This half term, we will be practicing striking and fielding skills for our PE lessons. These lessons will be on a Tuesday and Friday. 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 (nutrition). The big question we will be investigating is 'What is a healthy diet and why is it important?'  We will be learning about a balanced diet, identifying the food groups and investigating the nutrients of different foods.

We are Historians

In history we will be learning about our local history. We will look in detail at Nottingham Castle and use sources to understand why Nottingham castle was burnt down.
