Autumn Term
In Maths we will lay the ground with place value and the four calculations. As Christmas approaches, we will begin to understand multiplication and division.
In English this half term we will look at a variety of texts from the author Emily Gravett. After the holidays we will be studying "10 Things I Can Do To Help My World".
In our enrichment time, we will be focussing on our map reading skills and playing lots of games and puzzles using maps.
Our History and Geography topic is entitled “Mill Town.” We will look at how Todmorden used to look and what it was like working in the mills. We will then compare it to life in Todmorden now with a focus on farms in the area. This will include a trip to Thornton Hall Farm.
For Science, we will be studying animals and humans. We will learn about different classifications of animals and their life cycles as well as looking at what a healthy diet is. We will also start our topic on plants, where we will learn about the life cycle of plants and how the seasons can affect their growth.
