This half term our Cornerstones topic is Scrumdiddlyumptious.
This is a design and technology topic that explores the tasty world of food. We will be learning about food groups, food origins, healthy eating and physical changes during cooking. We will be working towards making a pasta salad.
English - This half term we will be covering Newspaper reports and Poetry. We will be writing a newspaper report about a Volcanic eruption, we have researched during our previous cornerstones topic. We will also explore the features of poetry and have opportunities to write our own poems.
Reading - Our class book is called 'The Firework-Maker's Daughter' by Phillip Pullman and 'The Volcano Challenge' by Bear Grylls. The children will all have access to their own copy of the class book in school. It's also really important that the children read regularly at home and we will try our best to change books on a weekly basis.
Maths - We are going to cover addition and subtraction and then multiplication and division this half term. It is also really important that the children practise their times tables everyday and get more confident at recalling them.
Science - We are moving onto our next topic called 'Amazing Bodies' where we will be looking at the skeleton and muscles.
