Autumn 2 - welcome back!

Welcome back everyone!  I hope you enjoyed your week off and are looking forward to getting back to school, seeing your friends and doing lots of great learning. 

This half term, you will be studying rainforests in Geography.  In particular, you will learn about the Amazon rainforest, its location and key features.  By the end, you will be able to name and describe the four layers of tropical rainforests as well as say why the Amazon rainforest is so important and the impact humans are having on it.   In Science, you will be learning about electricity, something that we use everyday and never really think about, until there is a power cut, of course!  You will learn how to explain how to test if a circuit works and identify when simple electric circuits work.  You will be able to say which materials are good electrical conductors and those that are insulators, a really practical and useful skill.  In Maths, you will be continuing with multiplication and division, practising the 3, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables - that'll keep us busy!  Weslandia is the new book in English which I think you will really enjoy.  It is about a boy who doesn't really fit in and so decides to build his own civilisation!  If you have a pet, then you are going to love Spanish this half term as you will be learning their names.    As you can see, from all of the above, it is going to be a great half term.
