Literacy:  Building on skills gained we shall explore Islands and Journeys. Using this as our base we will be  able to look at non fiction, fiction and poetry. Our main focus will be character studies and report writing. We shall first of all look at Katie Morag  and investigate the Isle of Struay. Then we will write reports on Train Journeys using our own journey to London to help us and finally we will examine the creatures that surround islands. Our phonics focus will be long vowels.

Numeracy: Initially we will look at problems and how to solve them. Then we will begin to examine 3 digit numbers and recap on addition and subtraction. In measures we will examine length. We will finish by recapping on money and use it to solve some of our own investigations.

Science: The children will be examining forces and how they work. To help us we shall use toy train and train tracks.

Art/DT:  We will use different materials to create a 3D island. We shall make our own treasure maps and paint our own hot air balloons.

R.E: Our focus will be on Christian beliefs, with a special focus on the Bible and the stories of Jesus.

P.E: We shall use the playground where ever possible as well as the Hall. Developing our ball skills we will practice bat skills and playing in a team.

Music: As well as learning songs, we shall be exploring instruments and musical scores.

Geography: We will look at Islands both what this means and at our own Islands. We will then investigate archipelagos and in particular the Galapagos Islands.

ICT: We will start to look at basic animation and create one of our own.

PHSE (Personal, Social, and Health education): The children will explore relationships and friendship.

French: They will continue looking at colours and fruits and then move on to learn the names of days and months.

REMINDERS:

If you wish your child to have milk every day an order form is available rom the office and as a final plea please label all uniform clearly. P.E is on a Monday and Friday, the children must have kit in school on these days.

As usual this is a long letter but does give you an idea of what we will be studying this term.
