Shining Together, We Reach for the Stars.
This term, the children will be introduced to their topic of 'Fearsome Warriors'! We will start by learning about how the Anglo Saxons and Vikings lived, and comparing these. We will understand how they built their homes, what they ate, what they wore and how they travelled. We will also explore the Runic alphabet which Anglo Saxons used to communicate with.
In science our topic is 'Life on Earth'. We will be learning about different plants, how they transport water, the names of the inside of a flowering plant and knowing what plants need to grow. There are some excellent experiments we will be doing to research answers to these questions so that children can make predictions, observe what happens in the experiments, record their results appropriately, share their ideas and then come to their own conclusions!
In English, our text this term is 'Arthur and the Golden Rope'. We will be using drama to re-tell the story, and then focus on writing a character description of a hero. The children have been working really hard on their spelling punctuation and grammar and are continuing to apply what they have learned into their pieces of writing. Their published piece for this term will be a diary entry!
