English
In English this half term we have been focusing on 'War Horse' by Michael Morpurgo.
This links with our topic unit all about World War One.
We started the half term by reading the book together; we learnt about Joey the horse and his loving owner Albert. Some of us were able to spot connections between the events of the book and the things we had learnt about during our history lessons!
Maths
This half term, we have continued our Maths learning by developing our understanding of fractions.
Science
During Autumn 2, we have been exploring the 'animals including humans' topic. During this topic we learn all about how humans grow from birth to old age.
We started our unit by exploring the different stages in the human lifecycle. We learnt a little about each stage in order to help us understand how humans develop into late adulthood.
Topic
In History and Geography this half term, we are looking at World War One.
D.T. Week
During D.T. week, we had an amazing time as we were able to get the woodwork equipment out! We worked in pairs to create a wooden 'war horse' with moving legs.
We worked with adults in school and had to use a saw to cut the wood, a drill to make holes for the legs and finally screw the screws in to ensure that the legs stayed attached. We had an amazing time during this project and showed lots of perseverance and teamwork.
Take a look at the pictures below to see the whole process!
