Mrs Harrison and Mrs Hemming
Autumn Term Topic:
The focus of our All Aboard topic will be looking at vehicles and transport. It will include reading transport themed books and carrying out writing inspired by the texts. In history we will be looking at the development of transport throughout history, using timelines and making comparisons between old and new forms of transport. The topic will also have a science theme where we will be reading ‘The Runaway Train’ and then carry out investigations to compare how things move on different surfaces. As part of the topic we will organising a visit to Enginuity, where children will experience a buggy making workshop. They will also design and make their own buggies in school.
Our whole class reading text will be 'Grandpa's Great Escape' by David Walliams
We will be doing PE on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with Mr McDonnell - please ensure PE kits are in school on these days. Also - long hair needs to be tied up on PE days.
TT Rockstars homework is set each week, and top performing children will receive certificates during our 'Celebrations' on a Friday afternoon.
We will change reading books on a Monday and Thursday. If you have read your book to the end, reading it again can improve fluency and understanding of the text. Free readers will be able to change their books when they finish them, with guidance from either Mrs Harrison or Mrs Hemming.
Spellings will be set on a Friday to be tested the following Friday. Please support your child by practising their spellings with them.
