Autumn Term
This term we are very excited to be learning all about Ancient Egypt! We will be finding out about Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the pyramids and more! In Art we will also be making our own canopic jars. In French we are finding out how to say if we own a pet and lots of animal names in French. PE is going to be an adventure as we embark on our Rock and Roll dance unit-hopefully we will be able to show you some of our moves! Forces will be our focus in Science and we have lots of practical tasks planned. We will also be reading 'Secrets of a Sun King' in English (thank you to those who have purchased copies) it is an exciting adventure story set in London in 1922 and Egypt too!
Update!
The second half of the term is upon us! We are going to be reading The Boy at the Back of the Class in English. In Science we are learning about Materials and their properties and have lots of new key words to learn. PE will be exciting as we embark on our Yoga unit of work. We loved learning about Ancient Egypt but now it is time for some Geography! We will be carrying out an in-depth study of Uganda in Africa! We are going to be busy...Christmas will be here before we know it :)
