Reading
Please read with your child daily (even if it is just for 5 minutes) and fill in their reading record. This will drastically boost their confidence and have a positive affect on their attainment as well as enabling them to 'magpie' what they have read to use in their own writing.
Each time your child reads at least 4 times during the week, they will have dip in the treat box and receive a Raffle Ticket which gives them a chance to win one of the amazing reading prizes on offer at the end of the term.

English, History and Art Throughout Autumn term, English, history and art will be linked to the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Our English work will be based on 'How to Train your Dragon'. The children will be writing their own story openers and a non-chronological report on Dragons. In History, we will be exploring when and why the 'Invaders' came to Britain and how they shaped Britain into how it is today. We will even be having a visit from a real Viking! Art for this term will be collage. The children will use collage techniques to create Anglo-Saxon crosses out of cardboard. |

In Autumn 1, we will be finding out 'What type of world Jesus wanted' by studying the Gospel of Matthew and finding out how Jesus called upon his first disciples. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” - Matthew 4:19-20
|
In Autumn 2, the children will develop a deeper understanding of the Trinity by looking deeper at the Gospel of John , with a focus on the birth of Jesus as God in human form and his Baptism.
