Hello and welcome back to all of our children, parents and staff! We hope you had a wonderful half-term break!

 

In Laura/Lizzy’s Class this term, our topic is ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, based on our History focus of the Ancient Egyptians. We will be exploring the fascinating lives of this civilisation, learning about pyramids, pharaohs, gods and the mummification process, as well as learning to read and write hieroglyphics!

 

During PE with Michael we will be developing our racquet skills to apply them to sports such as tennis and badminton. We will also take part in competitive volleyball games, learning how to use our bodies effectively to control and return the ball.

 

Our Science focus this term is ‘Working Scientifically’. The children will be putting on our lab coats and goggles to conduct a different experiment each week.  We will be changing different variables in the experiments to predict and record the results.

 

In English, we will be reading 'The Fantastic Mr Fox' by Roald Dahl, we will be creating our own story maps and sequencing the events before writing a letter to Mr Fox himself to ask him lots of questions!

 

In Maths, we will begin by strengthening our calculation skills, exploring different methods for addition, subtraction and multiplication. We will then revisit measuring weight, recap our learning on shape and develop our understanding of positional and directional language.
