CLASS BOOK
Curriculum Overview
In English we will be reading, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit. Our first piece of writing will be a formal letter written from the perspective of one of the characters to someone back home explaining their move out of Germany.
In maths, place value will be our first topic focus. This is an important topic as it is the foundation of every maths topic and essential for complete mathematical understanding.
Our humanities topic in the Autumn Term will be World War two. In this historical topic, children will be exploring power and conflict. Children will be working as historians by exploring primary and secondary sources of information to draw conclusions.
In science we are exploring forces. We have already started to explore gravity and we have been working as scientists by conducting fair tests, noting observations and recording our findings.
