Our theme for the second autumn half term is Festive Biscuits! This is a design and technology focused unit, based around food technology. We will be having great fun disassembling, exploring and designing and making our own yummy Christmas treats for Santa!

English:

We will be starting the half term exploring how to write instructions on how to make our fantastic, festive treats. We will then move on to investigating persuasive adverts and will have the chance to create an advert for our own delicious festive biscuits that we have made! Finally, we will be looking at limerick poems!

Love to Read:

Our quality text this half term will be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

This half term we will be focusing on developing the children's knowledge in the following areas: place value; addition and subtraction; multiplication and division. We will also be practising our times tables every day and regular TT Rockstars practice at home will really benefit the children.

Excitingly, we will be continuing with conducting lots of experiments to investigate rocks, before starting our unit of Plants.

RE:
