n Maths , we will be following the White Rose scheme of learning, beginning with place value before moving on to addition and subtraction, followed by multiplication and division. We will also focus on strengthening our timetables knowledge through regular practice. Each child will received login details for Times Tables Rockstars, a fantastic resource to help improve recall speed and accuracy. The children will also take part in weekly Mathletics sessions and will be given their login details so they can continue their learning at home. Throughout the term, we will regularly revisit number bonds and key mathematical facts to help children apply formal written methods confidently and access problem-solving tasks with increasing independence.

Our Science topic this term is Keeping Ourselves Healthy, where we will learn about the importance of nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle choices. We will also explore how our bodies work and learn about the changes that take place during puberty. Children will have the opportunity to work scientifically through practical experiments and investigations.

In Geography,  our focus will be on trees and the natural environment . We will learn about the importance of plant life, how we protect it, and develop an appreciation for the beauty of the world around us. Linked closely to Geography is our Art work – we will take inspiration from nature, creating rubbings, observational drawings and mixing colours to match the shades and tones we find outdoors.

In History, we will be learning about Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, comparing aspects of their daily lives, religious beliefs and the ways in which their societies were organised. Children will have the opportunity to research, ask questions, and take part in thoughtful discussions to deepen their understanding.

In RE, we will be learning about a range of different religions and explore how they view God or their Gods. We will make thoughtful comparisons between these beliefs and also learn about people who do not follow a religion or believe in God. Finally, we will have the opportunity to reflect on our own beliefs and values, considering what is important to us. RE provides a wonderful opportunity for discussion, reflection and respectful debate as we learn to understand and appreciate different perspectives.

PE will take place on Friday, during these sessions we will be completing OAA sessions. Swimming sessions will be held on Thursday and run up to the end of the Autumn term. Please ensure your child brings the correct kit on both days.
