Our new topic is called 'Did we used to be apes?' This is an exciting topic where we explore inheritance and evolution. We have an upcoming science workshop where we look at evolution, fossils and skeletons. Please see the attached home learning grid for additional hom learning. Our new PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays and suitable outdoor PE kits need to be worn. 

Year 3 Autumn 2

Year 3 are heading back in time to learn about The Stone age.

We have some wonderful learning experiences planned including being hunter gathers like Stone age people, making stone age necklaces.

Our class text is The Stone Age Boy.

Attached is our Medium Term Plan and Year 3's Autumn 2 Home Learning Grid.

We look forward to work being shared on Seesaw.

This half term, we will be exploring our topic question 'Why was London burning?' We will be reading 'Toby and the Great Fire of London' to find out about life back in 1966 and comparing it to London now. We will be exploring England’s capital city (London) and learning about how the emergency services have changed over time (focusing on Florence Nightingale - nursing and the fire service). We will be reading 'Samuel Pepys' diary and will be writing our own diary entries. Did you know that the fire was rumoured to have started in a bakery?

Here is the home learning menu for Autumn 2. We were so impressed by the standard of home learning last half term and cannot wait to see all the things you do this half term. Please remember to complete your homework in your home learning books or upload it to Seesaw. Remember you can get a bronze award for completing 4 pieces of homework, a silver award for 6 pieces and a gold award for completing all 8 pieces.

In Autumn 2, our topic is 'Would a dragon be a good friend?' where we will be learning all about dragons, Queen Victoria and building our own castles. For more information, please see the topic web below.

We worked as a team to create a city skyline using our cutting skills. We then posed in the pictures in our fantastic superhero outfits to create our live artwork. 

Year 1 had lots of fun on Superhero Day coming dressed up as their favourite superheroes and villains. Can you guess who we came dressed up as?

We had to save Travelling Ted in a superhero obstacle course and made some superhero live artwork too. 

Autumn Term 2 in Year 5 will be action packed in more ways than one!  Our new topic is 'Can you crack the codes to become a Spy?'  A firm favourite in Year 5, this topic presents some fantastic opportunities for writing!   The children will create interesting character descriptions and mysterious settings, resulting in spine tingling spy narratives!  They will adore Spy Day, with its opportunity to dress up as their very own spy, as well as being able to design and make their own spy gadgets!  Here is the Medium Term plan for this term, together with the Home Learning Challenge Grid.

Today our Talents Talks concluded with artists, potters, swimmers, dog trainers and many more talents and skills.

Year 6 we have been very impressed with all of your contributions to this. Thank you to those who have shared how they are unique and wonderful. I have really enjoyed finding out more about you all.
