We continue working very hard and looking forward to an exciting term of learning.

This term we be working on a beautiful book called Cloud Tea Monkeys by Elsbeth Graham and Mal Peet. We will respond not only to the text but also to the amazing art work contained in it's pages. In Reading we will be working on Rumaysa by Radiya Hafiza, a new version of the tale of Rapunzel. Children will be able to identify with different elements of the story. We aim to focus a lot on reading fluency, summarising and explaining our ideas using evidence.

Maths begins with geometry, looking at movement and coordinates, moving onto revisiting decimals and continuing to develop the children's skills and understanding in a range of areas. Building from what they know and taking their understanding further.

Science this term will be based on The Jungle Book and will look at life cycles and comparing animals to humans.

For Geography we investigate Global Trade, where this happens and how it affects our planet.

PE will be on a Monday morning and Friday afternoon, children will need to be wearing appropriate clothing dependent on where their PE will take place.

In computing we will begin learning about crumbles and how to use them for programming.

PHSE looks at 'Healthy Me' and the steps we can take to be the best versions of ourselves.

RE will continue to focus in on Judaism and making links to other religious beliefs.

Daily practice of times tables will continue and anything done at home will greatly support this.

Track my read is still being used for recording all reading we do. Children are given time in school to record, but if they can track at home too they could win the reading prize.

We look forward to an amazing term of learning and discovery.
