Autumn Term

In our first half-term, we became keen historians and learnt all about ‘The Great Fire of London’. The children looked at the causes and effects of the great fire, and had fun discovering its lasting legacy. ​We were visited by the 'Mrs History' and the children participated in our very own 'Great Fire of Red Hill'. 

In the second half-term, we will become intrepid geographers looking at the driving question ‘How can we save our oceans?’. We will explore how plastic pollution impacts our oceans and how animals depend on the ocean for their habitat. ​

Maths

We will continue looking at addition and subtraction, consolidating our knowledge and practising adding/subtracting 2-digit numbers. We will also move onto looking at 2-D and 3-D shapes; learning lots of fabulous mathematical language! 

English

In English, we will be exploring the very exciting text 'The Odd Fish' by Naomi and James Jones, which follows the journey of a plastic bottle through the ocean. All the other fish and sea creatures believe it to be another type of fish, not realising that in fact it's a bottle! The narrative links beautifully to our geography topic and explores plastic pollution. 

RE

In RE, we will explore the question 'Why does Christmas matter to Christians?'. We will be looking at and comparing different versions of the birth of Jesus in the Bible. We will also be exploring famous artwork, using our knowledge of the nativity to help us interpret what we see.
