Please see below for what we are learning about during Autumn 2: 

English: Myth Atlas – Children will explore myths from around the world. They will create their own mythical creature, focusing on using adjectives to describe their creature before creating their own mythical story using the conventions of a traditional myth.

Maths: Addition and Subtraction – Children will master formal written methods of addition and subtraction for 3-digit numbers by accurately setting out calculations in columns using hundreds, tens, and ones. Through systematic practice with regrouping and exchanging across place value boundaries, children build accuracy and fluency in standard algorithms while learning to estimate results and solve multi-step word problems efficiently.

Science: Nutrition and Diet – Children will explore human and animal nutrition by identifying the five main food groups and understanding what constitutes a healthy, balanced diet. Through investigating the varied diets of different animals, children build an understanding of carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores while learning how living things obtain the right types and amounts of nutrition to survive and thrive.

RE: The Trinity – Children will explore the Christian belief in the Trinity—God as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—using simple metaphors to understand how something can be three-in-one. Through reading Bible stories like Jesus’ baptism and exploring different parts of the Bible, children will build an understanding of Christian teachings while discovering what baptism means and how Christians express their faith in church.

Geography: Earthquakes and Volcanoes – Children will explore what the Earth is made of and how mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes are formed. Through learning about the effects of volcanic eruptions, children build an understanding of how our planet changes while discovering where the different rocks around their school come from.

Computing: Stop Frame Animation – Children will discover how pictures move by planning and creating their own stop-frame animations. Through using techniques like onion skinning to make smooth movements, children will build their computing skills as they review, improve, and add media and special effects to bring their moving images to life.

Music: Reading rhythms: Patterns and layers – Children will master steady beat and body percussion while learning to read, write, and count four-beat rhythms using crotchets, quavers, minims, and rests. Through group performance, children will build confidence by playing their own rhythms alongside different musical patterns.

PSHE: Celebrating Differences - Children will explore how families can be both similar and unique, while understanding that conflict is a normal part of family life. Through examining how our words affect others, children will learn how kind language can make people feel good and build positive relationships.

PE: Dance and Hockey – Children will bring characters to life through expressive movement in dance, taking inspiration from the book Matilda. In hockey, they will develop fundamental stick control, passing, and spatial awareness to play effectively in small-sided games.
