Welcome back.  This term we are focusing on ‘A Sense of Place’. 

In English, we are focusing on non-chronological reports using our book ‘Children of the Benin Kingdom’ by Dinah Orji.  This will link in with our History topic for this term, which is looking at the Kingdom of Benin (c.900-1300).

During our Maths lessons, we will initially be focusing on recapping learning on all aspects of the curriculum ready for the upcoming SATs.

We will be working hard on our times tables, please remember to use TTRS to help us with our practise.

In Science, our unit of work will be all about Evolution and Inheritance.  We will be look at inheritance of characteristics, adaptations and learning about our key scientist, Charles Darwin.

As part of our RE lessons, we will be exploring Buddhism.

In Art we will be looking at using a variety of methods including photomontage, monoprint and mixed media to produce self-portraits.  Our artist focuses will include Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.

We are continuing to encourage and promote our love of reading, giving children opportunities to read throughout the day as well as a whole class reading for pleasure session to end each day.

PE days this term are Monday and Wednesday.  We will be working on handball and rounders.

Homework is on Tuesday and is to be returned on a Monday.

Please keep an eye out on Class Dojo to see the amazing work we have been doing and to see any messages.
