History/Geography

We continue our learning journey with our topic of:

'Time Travellers’

Do you know who invented aircrafts?

We will be exploring the achievements and legacy of the Wright Brothers. We will also look at different forms of travel.

Science

Can you name any everyday materials?

During this learning experience, we will explore a variety of different materials and describe some of their simple physical properties.

Maths

This term the children will be looking at developing their understanding of place value for 2-digit numbers as they begin to partition numbers to 50. They will identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most and least.

English

During our English lessons this term, we will be exploring the book ‘My Heart is a Compass’ by Deborah Marcero. We will be following Rose’s mission as her heart is set on discovering something that has never been found. She sets off on a wondrous journey with a set of maps drawn from her own imagination and heart’s desire to explore new and exciting worlds.

What will her world look like? Where will her mission take her?
