Autumn Term
Autumn Term
In English, we will be continuing Talk for Writing learning fiction and non-fiction texts. We will be story mapping the model texts, looking at the features and tools used and exploring how to use these independently. After we have understood the tools that have been used in the model text, we will have a go at creating an example together before writing our own version independently.
In Maths, we will primarily focus on place value, addition and subtraction during the Autumn Term. We will then be moving on to Multiplication before Christmas. We will begin practising our times tables straight away, so TTRS will be a great tool to use at home.
In Science, we will kick off the year with Rocks, where we look at the 3 different ways that rock is formed and how rocks can be classified. In Autumn 2, we will be moving onto forces, exploring gravity, friction and pushes/pulls.
This term, we have so many fun activities planned with our topic of Exploring South America! We will be investigating the question “Could we survive without the Amazon?” and explore the topics of deforestation and the impact this has around the world.
Our History topic for in Autumn 2 is “Who were the Heymanns?” and we will find out all about who our school is named after and the history behind the Heymann family and their link to the lace industry in Nottingham.
ICT will cover digital photographs, where we will focus on the rule of thirds and framing subjects. We will also be using the program Puppet Pals, where the children will retell a story using the software. In R.E, we will focus on Hindu Worship and in Spanish, we will be learning how to introduce ourselves, learn the days of the week and months of the year
P.E will be every Monday and Thursday where the children will participate in Fundamental Movement Skills, Tri-Golf, Gymnastics and Netball. Please ensure that your children come in their PE kits on these days. They should be dressed in suitable clothing with an appropriate colour top that matches their house team and not a football top or similar.
Please see the Overview attached below to see a more detailed breakdown of topics we are covering in each subject!
