Hurricanes
Welcome to Hurricanes class!
During our English lessons this term we will be looking at two books. The first is 'The Lost Thing' by Shaun Tan, which is an incredible picture book about Shaun trying to get a lost 'thing' back to it's home. The children will concentrate on describing different settings using a range of fronted adverbials and adjectives.
The second book is called 'Varmints'. This book follows creatures losing their countryside homes to a more suburban environment. We will concentrate on balanced arguments and discuss what everyone thinks is best for the creatures.
In Maths, we will be looking at Roman numerals, numbers to 1 Million and rounding.
Children will use their fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills to answer questions daily.
In History, we will be looking at World War 2. We will learn about how the war started and how this impacted Men, Women and Children.
This includes focusing on evacuation, Anne Frank, Shelters and Rationing.
In Science, we will be looking at the properties and changes of materials. This includes grouping, making predictions and recording data.
In Music, we will be learning a brand new instrument called the P-Bone!
In P.E we will be concentrating on tennis and swimming.
