English
Our early English lessons will be based aroud the film ‘Toy Story’ before we move onto reading ‘Traction Man’. After that we will also be reading ‘The Magic Box’ by Kit Wright and will use this as a stimulus for writing our own poems.
Science
This half term ‘Uses of everyday materials’ is our topic for Science. The children will be working scientifically to identify the materials objects are made from and their properties to make them suitable. The children will be exploring how the shapes of solid objects made by some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching and recording results in a table.
