A Message From Mrs Postlethwaite and Mrs Kane .
Autumn 2023
Welcome back to school we have so much to look forward to in the AUTUMN term.
RE : We will be learning about how people are chosen to carry out God's work . We will be discussing the stories of Abraham and Moses and thinking about the mystery of God.
English : We will be learning how to use noun phrases to add description and detail to our writing. We will be working on ensuring we form all our letters correctly.
Maths : We will be focusing on reading, writing and using numbers up to 100 . We will then use this knowledge to solve addition and subtraction problems . We will be investigating the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes.
Science: We will be learning about the names and uses of everyday materials and how materials can be changed by applying a force to them.
Topic: In topic work we will be learning about the history and evolution of transport . We will be looking in particular how our local environment was part of this by visiting the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum. We will be investigating the map of the UK and surrounding seas and use compass points to find our way around.
We will be learning to play a recorder, make a fabric fish and create our own computer programmes to make objects move .
We hope you are excited as we are for the amazing learning journey we are going on together this term !
Kind Regards
Mrs Postlethwaire and Mrs Kane
