What have we been learning?
The chapters this half term are: 'What Am I?' and 'You Are What You Eat.'. The children have already been doing lots of work on animals and their classification. They willl be learning about humans in more detail and looking at how we grow and stay healthy. You will be pleased to hear that I do stress the importance of an early bedtime and plenty of sleep!
The children are consolidating their core arithmetic skills and using pictorial methods to help embed their learning,
In English the childen are writing longer pieces, incorporating the grammar taught to them this year..

This term in PE we are covering all aspects of athletics. Come rain or come shine!.
