Autumn 1 - ADVENTURE AND DISCOVERY
Autumn 1
We are writers and readers!
In our writing lessons, we will be using Land of Roar as a stimulus to write Non-Chronological reports, with a focus on relative clauses and technical vocabulary. As well as this, we will be writing our own adventure stories, inspired by Roar – taking our audience on an exciting adventure.
In our shared reading lessons, we will be developing our skills by reading and understanding texts across a range of genres - both fiction and non-fiction. Our main focus will be on understanding vocabulary and improving our inference and retrieval skills.
We are mathematicians!
In our maths lessons this half-term, we will be learning about place value, with a focus on place value – understanding the value of digits in numbers and different ways we can make numbers up to 10,000.
We will be using diennes, counters, place value charts and other resources to support us with this!
We are historians, designers, scientists and athletes!
History- The Anglo-Saxon invasion.
D&T- Automata Toys
Science- Living things and their habitats.
PE- Invasion games (hockey and basketball)

In History are are diving into the world of the Ancient Greeks! We will be learning how to study artefacts, how they impacted our world today and what life was like for them.
Our Art lessons will be all about sculpture. As well as looking at different forms of sculpture and practicing our sculpture skills, we will be making our own Greek sculpture using recycled materials!
In science, our topic is working scientifically, where we will be practicing and consolidating all the skills needed to become a brilliant scientist.
Our PE lessons will be based on striking and fielding games - PE is Mondays and Thursdays this half term :)
