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.
