Autumn Term 

This term we are very excited to be learning all about the Ancient Egyptians! This is one of of most exciting areas of learning and culminates in our now legendary Ancient Egypt dress-up/theme day.  In English, our focus novel is 'Secrets of a Sun King by Emma Carroll. We will be reading the novel as a class, if you have a copy please do bring it in. In our Art and DT lessons, we will be making our our cam toys and canopic jars. These lessons are very practical and we love using the clay to sculpt our own jars. 

In Science, we will be finding out about Forces and Mechanisms-we will be carrying out lots of practical investigation work over the term. In French we will be answering the question 'C'est quel jour?' as we learn about days of the week, months of the year and events during those times. Yoga, Basketball and Dance are all units to look forward to in PE! It's going to be a busy term! :)

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please find an information video on how you can support your child with learning to spell. These strategies can be used to inspire your child to learn their spellings and retain them.

You will also see a crib sheet of the strategies presented in the video as well as some additional strategies which aren't mentioned in the video.

We hope you find it useful.
