Buzzard

Welcome to Buzzard class!

Welcome back from the half term! It's the next big push up to Easter! Keep it up!

In English, we will be reading 'Paradise Sands', a picture book with a compelling and mysterious story with beautiful illustrations. The children will be writing the prequel to the story. After that, we will be reading 'The Boy in the Tower' which is a fable about friendship, loyalty and bravery, beautifully told in the voice of a lonely young boy struggling to make sense of all that is going on around him.

In Maths, we will begin our final units including Shape and angles, statistics and co-ordinates. After that point, we will begin to revise different areas of Maths key to revision for SATs.

In Guided reading, we are reading 'The Explorer' about a group of children that crash-land in the Amazon rainforest and how they survive/try to leave it.

In History, we will be looking at life since the 1940s till now. We will see how fashion, transport, education and technology has changed over the eras.

Our Science topic is adaptation and evolution. We will investigate how animals and plants are adapted to their environments, how evolution works and some key scientists who were involved in developing the understanding of this scientific concept.

Our PE and library slots are on a Wednesday afternoon - (black trousers/shorts and a white top please). Please leave jewellery at home where possible.

Please remember to bring in your reading record each day as we do lots of reading!

Any questions, please contact the office and they will contact me.

Many thanks,

Mrs Pain and Mr. Price
