English
In English, we are reading ' The Lost Happy Endings' by Carol Ann Duffy. What would happen if we lost the happy endings to stories - imagine the tears at bedtime! A fantastic and magical tale about what happens when, one night, a wicked witch steals the happy endings to bedtime stories. It is up to Jub, the keeper of the happy endings, to save the day and ensure sweet dreams everywhere in this lyrical story about storytelling. We will be exploring the character Jub by creating a role on the wall. Through exploring this tale, we will be writing our very own traditional tales.
Maths
During Autumn term, we will be focussing on multiplication and division. We will be learning to use formal methods to answer calculations quickly and concisely. Learning your times tables will be key to using these strategies in your maths.
As always, we will be focusing on the children securing key fluency skills before challenging themselves with problem solving and reasoning challenges.
Some great maths websites:
Science
In Science we will be learning about Electricity. We will be learning about the appearance and function of different electrical components including switches, bulbs, buzzers, motors, cells and wires. We will be investigating if the brightness of bulbs is associated with the voltage of a battery.
Wider Curriculum
In DT, we will be exploring foods including food from the Mayan Civilization.
In R.E., we will be thinking about how Christians use symbolism and music to worship.
