It is always good to wlecome the children safely back to school following the half-term break and as we begin the second half of the term, we also begin new topics across our curriculum.
Our English work for this half-term follows the theme of evolution and inheritence and we begin sharing the books, The Promise by Nicola Davies and Beetle Boy by M G Leonard. In maths, we are applying our arithmetic skills to fractions. In RE, we learn what it means to show commitment and especially the vocation of the priesthood. Science brings us to the study of living things and their habitats, whilst in Geography, we are learning about the challenges of the world’s growing population. We begin our design and technology for the year, employing our sewing and textile skills to make our own hanging Christmas decoration. Our learning in computing gives us the chance to combine our love of books and our web design skills to author our own websites using Google Sites. In music, we are looking forward to Christmas performances and to learning about jazz, whilst in PE, we hone our football and gymnastic skills.
We have a busy time ahead and I am looking forward to sharing our learning across the term with you.
