This term, our History topic is British History Heroes. We will be studying local History Heroes such as Sir Nicholas Winton and others who have had an impact on our national history such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel. We will enjoy a visit from Maidenhead Heritage Centre to explore more of their legacy on our local history. In Science we will learn about Light will discover materials which are reflective and how shadows are formed.
Our English texts this term are “Leon and the Place Between” by Angela McAllister, during which we will write our own versions of a fantasy narrative, and “The Tear Thief” by Carol Ann Duffy when we will edit and publish our own newspaper articles. We shall also be reading "Arthur and the Golden Rope” by Joe Todd Stanton” and “I am the Seed that Grew the Tree” by Fiona Waters and Frann Preston-Gannon.” If you are able to purchase copies of these books, this would really help your child’s engagement in the texts.
In Maths we are focusing on Multiplication and Division, in particular multiplying a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number with and without exchange. We are also studying Length and Perimeter including comparing and adding lengths in mm, cm and m and measuring and calculating perimeters.
