Time Table
Term Overview
Autumn 1
We kick off the school year by exploring the Stone Age to the Iron Age in History. We will be learning about different aspects of life from different time periods that span 10,000 years. In October, our focus will shift to Black History Month. We will be learning about Marcus Rashford and we will be considering the question ‘What is great about living in a multicultural society?’
In English, our focus will be on writing narratives and poetry using the fiction text ‘Mini Rabbit Not Lost’ and poetry anthology ‘The Magic Box.’ Our whole class reading text (Destination Reader) is Roald Dahl’s ‘The Magic Finger!’
In maths, we will revise what we learnt in KS1 about place value and build on this with 3-digit numbers. We will learn how to represent 3-digit numbers in many different ways, and how to partition, order and compare them. We will also practice our mental and written skills in rounding, addition and subtraction with up to 3-digit numbers.
In science, we will be focusing on rocks and soils. We will be learning about different types of rocks and comparing their properties. We will also be learning about the formation of fossils and how soil is formed.
In RE, we will be learning all about the key stories in Buddhism. The children will reflect on key beliefs and how we can learn from these values.
In PSHE we will be learning about how to make sure our relationships with others are safe and fair.
What a wonderful term of learning! You can read about our different curriculum areas in more detail in the curriculum section of our website.
