Welcome to Term 2!

This term is always one of my favourites as it involves the countdown to Christmas! Before we get there though we have lots of learning to do.

This term, in English, we are looking at writing a setting narrative. The picture book "Rhythm of the Rain" by Grahame Baker-Smith will be our stimulus. We will then finish the term by writing some Christmas themed cinquain poems.

In Maths we continue to look at the addition and subtraction of 2 and 3-digit numbers before starting our multiplication and division unit where we will start to learn our 3 and 4 times tables.

In Science we will be completing a unit of learning focused on forces and magnets and as part of the unit we will be learning about the scientist Hans Oersted. We will also be starting our French learning with Madame Honorez this term too!

In D&T we will be sewing and using our skills to design and stitch our own Christmas stockings to decorate our Christmas trees.

This term our P.E. days have changed. We will have P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

In addition to this, we will be doing the usual Christmas stuff such as making cards and calendars and preparing a song for the Key Stage 2 Christmas sing-a-long. More details about this will be sent out later in the term.

This term promises to be a fun filled one! Who's excited to get started?
