Our Learning

In Autumn 2, Science and Geography are our learning journey enquiries.

 

In Science, our golden thread is 'Investigation and Fair Testing' - we will be focusing on States of Matter (solids, liquids and gases). We will be getting hands-on and running lots of fun experiments, especially reversible and irreversible reaction experiments!

 

In Geography, we will be focusing on Continental Challenges and will be writing an extended piece as part of this enquiry.

 

In Maths this term, we will be looking at multiplication, division, and fractions. We will also start to look at test-technique and will start practicing arithmetic tests ready for Y6 SATs.

 

​PE

We have PE on Wednesdays and Fridays. Children to wear their PE kits to school on these days.

​

Forest School

We have Forest School on Thursday afternoons. Children to come in appropriate clothing and footwear.

​

Home Learning

This will be sent out on a Friday, to be completed for the following Friday. It will include: dates for your diary, spellings, handwriting, reading, and activities linked to our current learning enquiry and maths unit.

​

Multiplication Facts

​

Reading

Children are expected to read for 15 minutes each day. Books can be chosen from the class or school library, or one from home if they prefer.

We use the Sparx Reader app to log our reading and answer comprehension questions.​​
