What a busy and brilliant half term we’ve had in Fox Class! In art, we became pattern designers like William Morris, creating our very own beautiful prints. In English, we helped poor Paddington Bear by writing letters to Aunt Lucy while he recovered from his broken arm!
Science was all about exploring the properties of materials — we tested, stretched and splashed to find out which would make the best coat for The Smartest (and Wettest!) Giant in Town. In history, we travelled back to Victorian times to discover what life was like for children long ago… and decided we definitely prefer being children today!
What a fun, creative and curious bunch of Foxes we’ve been!
The fun continues this term as we journey on in our Curious Quest in English, meeting some new friends to adventure with along the way! We will be exploring stories with familiar settings, writing recounts and performing poetry.
In Maths, we will be continuing our work on addition and subtraction. By the end of the half term, we aim to be confident when adding and subtracting two 2-digit numbers, even when crossing a 10.
We continue our Once Upon a Playground topic but with a geography focus this half term. We will be carrying out observations and field work in our local area, creating maps and keys of the school and village.
We will be developing our sewing and joining skills in DT, designing and making puppets.
In R.E we will be continuing our big overarching question of “Is it important to belong?” This half term we have enjoyed exploring Christianity and Baptism. In Autumn 2 now we will focus on Judaism and the Mitzvot.
We are very excited to begin practising for our Nativity – more details of which will be coming home shortly. Rehearsing the songs and dances will take the place of our music lesson and one PE session every Thursday. We will still have an outdoor PE lesson with Jamie on a Tuesday.
