This half term in the core subjects the children will be exploring a range of topics, and books. 

In English, the children will be reading a few different books. The first of which is 'Cloud Tea Monkeys' a story about monkeys helping a young girl to pick tea in India, in order to be able to afford medicine for her mother. Next will be 'Journey to the River Sea' a story about an orphan girl who travels across the Atlantic to live with her aunt and uncle in the Amazon. The last book is called 'Tuesday' a picture book about unpredictable strange events occurring in a faraway village. Using these books, the children will look at the authors' use of vocabulary to create an atmosphere of wonder and excitement. As well as this, we will recount stories, write non-chronological reports, and retell storied from another perspective.

In Maths, the children will continue to build on their knowledge of property and shape. In addition, they will start to look at position and direction.
