Autumn Term 2

This term we will be using the book The Lorax to look at the deeper meaning and thinking what we could do to save our environment. This will also link into our rainforest topic.

Maths

In maths we will be looking at column addition and subtraction and how place value helps us to get this correct.

Autumn Term

Faster than Lightening!

This half term we are going to learn about the fastest man on Earth - Usain Bolt.

We will explore geographical similarities and differences as we look at our home town and compare it with Coxeath, Jamaica - the birth place of Usain Bolt.

We will also explore why we should lead a healthy life, and look at how sleep, exercise and diet can help us stay healthy.

Maths

In maths, we will concentrate on our independence. We will use lots of resources to help us with our place value knowledge. 

The Lorax

We have been reading the Lorax and have used this book to help us look at the endangered rainforest and what we can do to save it!
