The children will be using a range of sources including atlases, I-pads and books to support their learning.

Autumn 2 learning
In Literacy, we use the book the Man in the Moon as our focus text and worked hard to complete descriptive work, developed our understanding of past and present tense, wrote questions to find out more information and retold the story in our own words. We also watched The Way Back Home and thought about how we could change the story to make our own version.
In Maths, the children developed their understanding of times tables, place value and worked hard to develop their addition and subtraction skills. They also used Times Tables Rockstars every day on their I-pads.
Our Topic work was all about space. We enjoyed learning about the different planets in our solar system and learnt about some key people who were famous for their work in space.
We also had fun learning about gravity and completed some science work about this – we had to use our measuring skills using a range of equipment to find out what happened to things of different weights with the pull of gravity.
Some of our children also had the extra challenge of learning to ride a bike! Check out our photo gallery below to see how they did!
