Term 2

Welcome back to school Otters! Hopefully, you enjoyed your half term break! Sounds like the children had a super time. 

In our Writing lessons, we will use our class text of Kensuke's Kingdom as our basis for our writing this term. Firstly, we begin by writing a sailing narrative story inspired by the book before moving on to instructional writing on how to survive on an island. We finish the term writing poetry using figurative language and then winter poetry.

In Maths this term, we start with begin the term with multiplication and division and then comparing and ordering fractions, learning about improper and mixed number fractions before adding and subtracting fractions. 

Throughout our learning this term, we will focus our Geography learning around the topic of Earthquakes and Volcanoes. 

In RE, our question is, 'Was Jesus the hoped-for saviour?' Our theme in and Science will be learning Living Things and their Habitats. Our Computing is learning about Filming Techniques. Art will be studying Hokusai and his famous image 'The Great Wave' and creating a pastel picture in the style of Hokusai. French will be learning about The Date and Music is learning about Jazz music and playing alongside with percussion instruments. 

Our PE days are Monday (Team Building) and Friday (Gymnastics). Please ensure your child(ren) have a complete kit each week. We will be inside and outside each week so the children will require joggers and a jumper too. 

Mrs Garcia will be starting this term on a Wednesday until after Christmas where she will be teaching on a Thursday and Friday.
