English
In our English lessons, we will be learning different ways to help us write exciting narratives and interesting non-fiction pieces. This term, we are working on creating a narrative based on the book ‘The Storm Whale.
Reading
In Year 2, children will be focusing on increasing and applying their phonics knowledge using Little Wandle. In Year 3, we will be reading daily in class in our VIPERS sessions, covering a range of genres including a text inspired by Mary Anning. Children will read individually throughout the term and periodically to assess their book band level. It would be great if you could listen to your child at home every day. Please ensure that your child’s reading book and diary are sent into school every day.
Topics
Our main humanities topic this term is focused around geography. We will be finding out all about continents and oceans. We will also be using atlases and maps to help us understand where the different continents and oceans are located.
P.E
