In Maths we will be looking at Multiplication and Division this half term, with a particular focus on times table knowledge. We will begin by recapping times tables taught in previous year groups and we will then build on this by learning how to multiply and divide by 6, 9, 7, 11 and 12.

 

In English, we will be writing 3rd person narratives. We will also be writing instructions and poetry. In Guided Reading, we will use VIPERS to comprehend texts, working towards achieving the end of year objectives for reading.

 

In Religious Education, we will be looking at the prophet Elijah and John the Baptist. Later on in the topic, we will be learning all about advent and we will be making advent promises of the things we plan to do during this time to show hope, peace, joy and love.

 

In Geography this half term, our topic is 'Interconnected World'. During this topic we will learn about compass points and four and six-figure grid references. We will also study the tropics and the countries, climates and culture of North and South America. We will be identifying physical features in the United Kingdom and learn all about the National Rail networks. 

 

Our Science topic for Autumn Term is 'Living Things'. We will be looking at ways to classify and group a set of objects, animals and plants. We will also focus on food chains and how animals within these food chains can be grouped and classified.
