This half term, we will be looking at traditional tales and how we can change the story to give them a tale with a twist! We will be creating our own villains and writing stories about what happens to them. As geographers we will be learning about how to read and use maps, as well as creating our own. We will be growing bean plants in science and observing what plants need to grow and be healthy. 

Please take a look at our half termly overview below to find out more about what we will be learning.

This week we enjoyed using the BeeBots and BeeBot mats to create our own programmes and algorithms. We had to navigate around the maps and avoid obstacles so had to make sure our code was accurate! In English we have been analysing our new model text 'The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs' and highlighted the features of story writing.

On the first day back we had an intruder in our classroom! The Big Bad Wolf had been and made a huge mess in our classrooms. We created wanted posters to help try and find him so he could fix what he had done wrong. It was Author Day on Friday and we read lots of Julia Donaldson books as she was the author we were looking at. We wrote postcards pretending to be the Snail from 'The Snail and the Whale' and created Snail and the Whale themed artwork.
