Writing

Children will write a fact sheet about owls including the following features:
Use co-ordination (but, or)
Add -ly to turn adjectives into adverbs
Use commas to separate items in a list
Maths
For our Maths lessons, we will be looking at addition and subtraction. Children will recap on their number bonds to 10 before applying these to number bonds to 100. Children will then move onto addition and subtraction with 2 digit numbers.
RE
We will be starting our new unit ‘Prophecy and Promise’. We will be learning about the importance of Mary in the lead up to Christmas including the Visitation, the Annunciation and the birth of Jesus.
In geography, we will be learning about seas and coast - looking at the oceans that surround the UK and the World.
In science, we will be looking at the use of everyday materials.
In art, we will be covering the topic sparks and flames.
In PE, children will be learning gymnastics.
Things to remember
Our PE days will be on a Monday. Children need to come into school wearing their correct PE uniform.
Please make sure your child brings their book bag in each day so their book can be changed. We will be reading with your child throughout the week.
Children need to bring a labelled water bottle in each day.
