English

This half term, we will be reading the story Big Bad Owl by our author in focus Steve Smallman. We will be comparing the main characters within the text and using key vocabulary to retell the story.

Maths

In maths we will be learning about:- 

• Place value
• Addition and subtraction
• Measuring length
• Mass
• Shape

We will be doing some work practically and pictorially to practise our skills and solve problems using efficient methods.

Science

In Science, we have started investigated health and growth in humans - discussing how humans change as they grow. We will investigate our bodies, measuring different body parts. To investigate the spread of germs, we will set up an experiment involving touching bread with clean and unclean hands. We will discuss what happens to our bodies when we exercise and have a look at the importance of healthy eating.

Art

We will be studying two artists this half term - L.S. Lowry and Paul Horton. We will be comparing their styles and look at the different colours they use in their pictures. We will also go on a walk in our local area to look at different buildings and their unique styles. We will use all our learning to create a piece of artwork inspired by Lowry and Horton. 

A walk in Nelson

We went on a walk in our local area as part of our learning. We looked at the human and physical features around us and also the design of windows and doors of all the beautiful buildings and houses. This will help us with our Geography and Art learning this half term. 

Geography 

We will be exploring our local area to find human and physical features. We will look at lots of buildings in Nelson and explore the route to school using online maps. We will then create our own maps to show the human and physical features in our local area.
