We will be learning through many fascinating topics this Autumn term. Here are just a few of them:

History – The Shang Dynasty

Geography – Investigating Our World

Science – Forces and Mechanisms / Earth and Space

Computing – Vector Graphics / Video Production

Art – Tints, Tones and Shades / Taotie

Music – Living on a Prayer / Classroom Jazz

DT – Moving Mechanisms

P.E. – invasion games, gymnastics and basketball

Each week, we will have a set of words to learn for spelling, which we must practice in our book and get signed. Each Friday, we will have our spelling test.

Homework is set on Friday and handed back by the following Wednesday. It will alternate between maths and literacy.

We should aim to read at least five times a week, we should keep our reading diary up to date and ask an adult to sign it. Remember to carry  reading books and diaries between school and home in our book bags.

We look forward to having lots of fun through our broad and rich curriculum.
