Welcome
Mr Sanders, Mrs Bramley and Mrs Munro have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming all the children back after the summer break and can't wait to begin our learning this term!
Our Learning
In Maths this term, we will be looking at place value, number and fractions. We will be answering a range of fluency questions as well as trying to tackle some very challenging problem solving tasks.
In English, the children will be using the picture book – Journey by Aaron Becker – to write a story of a lonely girl who goes on a big adventure! We will also be using our scientific knowledge to write an explanation text on the Big Bang theory and Evolution.
In R.E. the children will be exploring different faiths during the Autumn term and looking at reasons why people follow religion and understanding the reasons behind those that don’t.
In Art, we will be exploring Michelangelo and looking at what made him one of the most famous and recognisable artists to have ever lived.
