Autumn 1

English

During English we will be reading and exploring the text Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura. We will then write our own stories based on the events in the text. As well as this, we will also look at biographies and how they are structured. We will then write our own biography about Mary Anning- using the book Stone Girl Bone Girl by Laurence Anholt to help. 

Maths

In maths we will be starting our work with a unit on place value. We will be learning to represent and partition numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.  We will then move on to think about addition and subtraction where we will be building on our work adding and subtracting two digit numbers and starting to think about adding and subtracting three digit numbers. 

  

RE

Our key question this half term is: 

What do Christians learn from the creation story?

We will be reminding ourselves of the creation story and why it is important to Christians. We will think about where the story fits in with our timeline on our 'Big Frieze' and we will think about what Christians and others can learn about our world and how we should treat it. 

 

Science

In our science work this half term we will be exploring rocks and soils.

History

Would you prefer to live in the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age? We will be exploring all things to do with these time periods to answer our question. Hopefully ending with a visit from the History Man- can't wait!

Art

In art we will be using chalk, charcoal and pastels to recreate cave art. We will end the unit by designing and creating our own prehistoric paintings. 

French

We will be completing our very first French unit this half term. This unit will be called J'apprends le français (I Am Learning French). We will use key greetings, ask and answer the questions ‘How are you?’ and 'What is your name?’ in French, count to 10 and recognise 10 colours in French.
