Science: our topic this term is:

Seasonal Change 1

Our topic this half term is Seasonal Change. This topic will be covered throughout the year to enable the children to observe changes across the four seasons. Throughout the year the children will observe and describe weather associated with the seasons and describe how day length varies.

History: Our topic is Intrepid Explorers and will be learning about:

-Christopher Columbus’s journey and what he discovered

-The impact of Columbus’s voyages and what he brought back to Europe

-Who Neil Armstrong is and why he is remembered today

- Finding out about Neil Armstrong’s landing on the moon and the impact this has had on the world

-Comparing the lives and achievements of Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong

RE: This half term we will be learning about Christianity including:

-Learning about the Christian Creation story

-learning and retelling the Christian Christmas story

-Discussing what gifts Jesus might have been given if he was born here rather than Bethlehem

PE will be on a Monday and a Friday.

Home learning project for this half term:

The task for this half term is to make a poster about who is your hero. The poster should include a picture, three facts and an explanation as to why this person is your hero. This can be uploaded to Google classroom.

Weekly Spellings

Every Monday by 9 AM the weekly spellings will be posted on google classroom. The spellings will be reviewed in class the following week.

This will be completed in the Home / School spelling book which will be sent home weekly to enable you to see what your child wrote. We are trialing this in the Autumn term as we appreciate that a lot of work goes into helping the children with the spellings and we wanted parents to have the opportunity to know how their child wrote the words.

The book will be sent home every Tuesday and we would like you to sign on the bottom when you have looked at the score on any day that week. Please ensure the home / school spelling book is in your child’s book bag on a Monday morning.
