In Autumn Term 1, we will be reading ‘The Journey’ by Francesca Sanna. The children will be focusing on the power of persuasive and emotive language, and trying their hands at writing letters and poetry.
Our topics in Maths are: reading, writing and comparing numbers to 1,000,000; adding and subtracting within 1,000,000; multiplication and division.
In computing, the children will be investigating how computer systems connect with each other and examining how search engines operate.
Our topic in History is 'How vicious were the Vikings?'. The children will be learning about who the Vikings were and where they came from while examining historical evidence that will help them determine whether their reputation as vicious raiders is justified.
In Music, the children will be studying the music of the nationalist composer Bedrich Smetana in order to compose their own pieces which describe the local area. We also have many other interesting curriculum topics this half-term such as gymnastics and hockey in P.E. and fantastic forces in Science.
Important information:
Spellings will be sent out on Mondays to practise at home before the test on the following Monday. Current spellings can be found online on the link to the right. Maths home learning is set on Wednesday and due back by the following Monday. We also strongly encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home and have their reading record filled in and signed at least once a week.
Please make sure you have your PE kits in school for our sporting activities: both classes have lessons on Monday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in their kit on their PE day, and make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
We look forward to working with you and your children throughout this school year.
