With the speed that term 1 drew to a close, we now start embracing warm fires, dark evenings, Christmas lights and lots of music.  It is time for Term 2. 

This term our PE will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We shall be doing gymnastics on a Tuesday and heading off swimming on a Wednesday - don't forget your kit! 

Homework will remain going out on a Friday and coming in on a Friday.  In Term 2 the children will have reading, spelling and maths to practice each week. 

What are we learning this term? 

History 

Our focus is on Rutland during WW1 and WW2.  We will begin with a trip to our county town to find out what we can about live in the wars.  Then over the weeks we shall learn more about the role Rutland played during WW1 and WW2.  

Science 

Our science topic is materials.  We shall be doing lots of experiments to investigate the more complex properties of different materials. 

Art

We shall be focusing on texture in painting this term designing and painting our own landscape.  We shall be researching different artists as our starting point. 

Maths 

Our focus turns to multiplication and division as we learn some more complex methods for calculating. 

French 

We welcome back Madame Honorez where we will continue with our French education.   

Dare I mention the Christmas word?  This term will also host charity events like Children in Need, Christmas jumper day, Christmas sing-a-long and so much more.  I'm really looking forward to it all!
