In Autumn 1, our English lessons will focus on the book ‘Earth Verse’ by Sally Walker. Earth Verse is a poetry collection of Haikus all about the natural world. From this text, we will be writing our own Haikus inspired by the natural world and nature around us. Our maths topics for Autumn 1 will be place value (numbers up to 10 million) and the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). In history we will be studying the Vikings! We will be learning about who the Vikings were, where they came from, and whether the reputation they have as ruthless, vicious raiders and invaders is as accurate as we believe. In science, our topic will be: Fantastic Forces. We will be learning about different forces that act around us and investigating the effect they have in our world. In computing, the children will be creating media using vector graphics. They will be creating vector drawings, learning how to use different drawing tools to create a range of images. In PSHE, our topic will be Being Me, and in PE/Games we will be playing hockey and rugby.
Home learning will be sent out every Wednesday and will be due the following Monday. The first home learning will be sent out on Wednesday 9th September. Spelling tests will be every Monday and the first spelling test will be on Monday 14th September. Please remember to record your three weekly reads in your reading records and hand in every Monday. Oxford Reading Scheme books should be in your child's bag every day in case a teacher/TA needs to read with your child.
P.E. days are Monday and Thursday. Please send your child into school wearing their PE kits on these days.
