We hope you have had a great half term and are fully rested to enjoy the run up to Christmas!

We have lots of exciting things planned for you all to enjoy.

Keep up with your reading, spellings and timestables to help make this half term a little easier.

For our English this half term we will be focusing on the book, The owl who was afraid of the dark. Children will learn everything they need to know to write a non-chronological report. We will be focusing on using conjunctions (but, or), adding -ly to turn adjectives into adverbs and to use commas to seperate items in a list.

For our Maths lessons, we will be focusing on addition and subtraction. We will be revisiting addition and subtraction of single digit numbers learnt in year 1 and applying this knowledge to working with 2 digit numbers. Alongside this we will be practising our number bonds to 10, 20 and applying this to numbers to 100. Keep using numbots to help support learning in the classroom.

In geography, we will be learning about oceans and continents. Children will be learning the 7 continents of the world and will be able to identify these on a world map. They will also be learning about the 5 oceans and where they are.

In science, we will be looking at everyday materials. We will be identifying materials, their properties and investigating how they can change by twisting, squashing or bending.

In Art we will be creating great fire of London inspired pictures. This will include work with chalks, collage or mixed media.

In PE, children will be practicing gymnastic skills and creating performances.
