In English we are reading the story 'The Big Bad Owl' by the author Steve Smallman. We will be finding about the characters, comparing them and using key vocabulary to retell the story. We will be using lots of adjectives to add description to our writing.

Science

In Science we will be learning about ourselves and how we can be healthy. We started our learning by discussing the different stages of the life cycle. We then asked that question...Do taller children have bigger hand spans? We also asked the question...Can taller children jump further than shorter children? We used the knowledge we have to make predictions. We then set up an experiment to see if our prediction was correct. We will bee finding out about germs and why it is important to have good hygiene. We will set up an experiment to observe over time. We will wipe our hands on a piece of bread and then wash our hands with soap. We will observe the bread and note any changes. 

Geography

In Geography we are learning about our Local Area. We will go on a walk around our local area. We will find landmarks and locate these on a map. We will sort features into human or physical.

Art

In Art we will focus on the work of L.S Lowry and Paul Horton. We will be looking at the different landscapes that they painted and what features they included. Will will go on a walk around Nelson and look carefully at the buildings in our area. We will then recreate Nelson in the style of Horton and Lowry.

RE

In R.E we will be learning about Christianity. We will look at Christian beliefs about God as a creator, sustainer, and consider how these beliefs might influence Christian attitudes towards the planet. We will explore how Christians might express their beliefs and values through harvest festivities.
