Term 4 Connected Learning

This term, our learning is: Let Me Entertain You!

Through Connected Learning, we will be investigating looking at environmental regions around he world, in particular, places where gorillas and apes live. We will also be looking at animals versus humans in our science lessons. As part of our art this term, we are going to learn about and practise our sketching skills in order to prepare us for drawing our own plants and leaves. In English, we will be reading 'Gorilla' by Anthony Browne, working towards writing a narrative based on the story. We are also reading 'A Myth Hunter's Travel Guide' by Tom Button, where we are learning to make predictions and use dictionaries to identify the meaning of vocabulary. In Maths, we are going to start the term by identifying the value of digits in place value. We will also learning about addition and subtraction later in the term. Finally, in RE, we will be talking about the Understanding Christianity Frieze and will explore the Creation Story through the book of Genesis in the Christian Bible.
