Beginning of term 5

Spring has finally arrived and term 5 has begun! To start with we will be allocating class jobs, talking and writing about what we did over the holidays and generally getting back into gear. For literacy we have a new book we will be starting, "Stormbreaker", an Alex Rider adventure by Anthony Horowitz.

The high-tech theme of Stormbreaker complements our new topic for the term, electricity. We will be learning about building basic circuits and learning a bit more about what electricity actually is and how we use it.

In maths we are doing a range of problem solving activities and investigations where the children have the chance to apply what they've learned to solve puzzles. Times tables and spelling tests will continue as normal and for our maps we will be looking at Asia this term - probably the hardest continent to get to grips with.

Sadly our time with drums and ukuleles is over but we will still be working alongside Bristol City FC to learn about healthy living and sportsman-like behaviour.
