CLASS BOOK
Curriculum Overview
In English we will be reading, The lion above the door. Our first piece of writing will be a website entry where we will confront how historical records didn't always fairly include people from ethnic minorities.
In maths, we will be focusing on multiplication and division before we move onto fractions.
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 properties of materials, and how these properties help items be fit for purpose. We have already started to explore materials that we can use to design a coat for Paddington!
Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday to be handed in the following Friday. Children are expected to independently collect thier homeowrk from our homework folders pinned up in the classroom and return completed homework to the homework tray.
Spellings will be set on spelling frame and children can collect a 'look, cover, write' version of spelling from teh homework folders.
Maths homework will be based around previous learning, Either from the currect topic, or small refresh questions from previous topics to keep thier mathematical skills in all areas.
Children should also read weekly.
