Writing
For writing we will be following the book ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughs. We will be working on story writing then moving onto poetry.
Reading - We will also be covering the Iron Man during our reading lessons. Children will explore word meanings and vocabulary as well as developing their reading fluency.
Science
In Science we will be learning about the requirements of plants for growth and survival. Pupils will describe the parts of flowering plants and relate structure to function, including the roots and stem for transporting water, leaves for making food and the flower for reproduction.
We will also learn about light and dark. We will investigate the phenomena of reflections and shadows, looking for patterns in collected data. The risks associated with the Sun are also explored.
