Autumn Learning
Autumn 1
This half term we are learning an exciting IPC topic called ‘Treasure Island’. Since people first sailed on the oceans, there have been pirates who have been both fascinating and feared in equal measure. We will be finding out who these people were and how they lived and travelled. Let's explore the globe like pirates! “Ahoy Me Hearties!”
Throughout the term we will be writing pirate wanted posters, learning about famous pirates from the past and creating maps to find treasure. We are really looking forward to a fabulous and exciting half term! For further curriculum coverage please see Autumn 1 Curriculum Letter and Curriculum Map below.
Autumn 2
This half term we are learning an exciting IPC topic called ‘Time Travellers’. This unit takes a range of different historical events and asks the children to become detectives, using sources to uncover information and raise questions which they can then go on to answer. amongst many other tasks, children will be learning to describe different events and celebrations, e.g The Great Fire of London, the Moon landing, Bonfire Night and Thanksgiving, and writing our ownbonfirenight themed poems.
For further curriculum coverage please see Autumn 2 Curriculum Letter and Curriculum Map below.
Reading and Homework
We would like to encourage parents to support their children with reading the books they borrow from school and write short comments about the way children read. Reading records must be brought to school daily as this allows us to comment as well.
Children also have logins to Mathletics where there are lots of extra activities to help children consolidate and extend their maths problem solving skills.
Homework and spellings are sent home on a Friday and should be returned to school by the following Tuesday. This will enable us to prepare the homework books in time to be sent home again on the Friday.
