Autumn 1 -  Who was the Lady of the Lamp?

Literacy -  We will be reading the story 'Stardust' in literacy this half term. We will be focusing on descriptive writing, creating lots of opportunities for oracy through drama! This will then lead into a non-chronological report and instructions.

Maths - We will be looking at place value this half term, using practical resources to help us understand the value of tens and ones. We will then look at addition and subtraction, focusing on adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers. Children will use a variety of practical resources to help them build on previous learning.

History - Our History focus this half term is all about the Victorians. We will be researching and finding out about significant individuals who lived in this era such as Florence Nightingale, Edith Cavell and Mary Seacole. We will even have a special visit from one of these individuals, to help us understand what life was like in the Victorian times.

Art - We are focusing on drawing and printing this half term. We will look at a range of different artists, and consolidate our knowledge of primary colours.

Music - We will be using our bodies to find the pulse and rhythm. We will be focusing on South African music and Freedom Songs. We will look at Nelson Mandela as a famous and influential person in our lifetimes. We will delve into the historical context of musical styles.

P.E - We will be looking at using core strength and working on our balance skills. We will also look at different ways to travel, as well as team building and working co-operatively alongside others. 

RSHE - This half term we will be learning about special places that people worship. We will also look at our communities, and what the community means for us.
