Our writing this half term is based on the Michael Morpurgo story 'Kensuke's Kingdom'. We will be using the text to inspire setting descriptions, character descriptions, diaries and narrative writing.

This term, we will not be concentrating on a certain text in reading, but will be looking at short extracts and how to answer more complex test-style questions. We will also be practising GAPS in our reading time too.

Science

Science 

Our topic this half term is Light. 

We will be learning about how we see objects, shadows, refraction of light and light pollution.
