Autumn term 2
This term, the children will be reading ‘The Last Wild’, following Kester’s story as he embarks on a journey with an unusual friend – a cockroach. The children will be writing Part 2 of his story when he saves ‘The Last Wild’ with his new antennaed friend!
Daily reading will continue, where the children will study different texts and the comprehension of them. We will do this by focusing on vocabulary, retrieval and our inference skills.
In maths, the children will be starting their fractions unit, which will continue for the whole of the half term.
Daily arithmetic will still take place and this will primarily focus on retrieval practice.
In DT, we will be making some Christmas decorations.
Then, in Science, we will be studying electricity and in geography, we will be exploring mountains.
P.E. will continue on a Tuesday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor). Please send your child in the appropriate clothing, following our school policy.
Mrs Chapman and Mrs Dolman are looking forward to this fun-filled festive half term!
