Spring Term 2

In English this half term both our fiction unit will be based around the book The King Who Banned the Dark by Emily Howarth-Booth and our non-fiction unit will be a recount of our school trip to Skipton Castle. In the first half of the half term we will be writing a setting description, using adjectives and the suffixes 'er' and 'est' to make our writing as descriptive as possible. In Maths, our units are; length, addition and subtraction, 2D and 3d shape, fractions, position and direction and time.  In History, we are studying castles with a focus on Skipton Castle. In DT, we are completing a textiles unit making puppets. We are continuing to look at Animals, including humans in Science, exploring survival and health and Christianity in RE. Our PE units this half term are dance and striking and fielding.
