Summer 2

We are Mathematicians

In maths this half term we will be covering the topics statistics, money, mass and capacity and shape. We will be reading and creating graphs; calculating change; considering the mass and capacity of objects and continuing to develop our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes.  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 ‘Escaping the Giant Wave' by Peg Kehret.

Lots of our writing lessons will be recapping the techniques we have already learnt this year, such as: description, subordinating conjunctions and sentence openers.

We are Athletes

This half term, we will be doing athletics in our PE lessons. These lessons will be outside on the field so make sure you have appropriate kit. Our PE lesson will be on a Monday and a Thursday. 

We are Scientists

Our science unit for the half term is about plants. The big question we will be investigating is 'Why do plants have flowers?'  We will be doing some experiments and lots of research to support our learning in this topic.

_{We are Geographers}

In geography we will be building our knowledge of physical characteristics looking at volcanoes. We will be learning how a volcano is formed and what causes volcanic eruptions.
