This summer term Beech Class are learning about local history, linked to our Literacy theme about a walk around London and are going to create a non fiction booklet about our local area and also used a range of grammar skills they will have studied from the original  book.  In Maths pupils are practising their calculation skills which they explored earlier in the year in a more simplified format. 

In the Spring term pupils looked at diary writing in Literacy. They used a diary /story based around the second world war and at the end wrote their own diary entry in the role of a character from the book.

In Maths pupils explored fractions as well as learning about properties of shape.

For our topic Beech Class learnt about The Shang Dynasty for their History topic. We used maps to identify different places in South East Asia and put them on a map, learnt about modern day Chinese letter and number symbols, life during that time and the civilisation and changes it bought to the world.  It was a very interesting topic so far for everyone.

During the Autumn term pupils learnt about traditional tales and studied the book Beowulf. Pupils explored the different characters and parts of the story and ended up writing their own version of the story to finish.

In Maths pupils were learning about place value and ordering of number.

Autumn term topic was WW2 and as part of Science, the pupils learnt about different types of flight and designed their own flying machines.
