Autumn Term 2021
English
Over this half term the children will be using a book called ‘Beowulf’ by Michael Morpurgo as a base for our English work. The children will be supported in developing their skills to create and punctuate complex sentences using ‘-ed’ openers, to blend action, dialogue and description within and across paragraphs and to proof read and evaluate their own work.
Topic
Our topic this half term is ‘A Kingdom United’ we will be studying all about the Anglo-Saxons and the United Kingdom.
In History, we will be exploring the Anglo-Saxon period in depth by researching the evidence of their settlement and the chronology of the events. In Geography, we will be using maps on a range of scales to name and locate counties and cities of the United Kingdom and looking at the physical features of rivers and mountains in the UK.

Last Half Term’s Work
Our Topic of Rivers
Our topic of rivers has been enhanced with visits from the Ribble Rivers Trust who make the lessons available on line for our home-learners. The children have also had access to Walks with Atticus which shows them the local rivers and the features they have learnt about.
Our Topic of Lifecycles
The fish tank arrived just before Christmas and in the second week of term we took delivery of the brown trout eggs which have now hatched. The children in school provide videoed updates on Seesaw for their home-schooling classmates as to their progress. The children has also learnt about the lifecycles of other species.
