In English, our book is Leon and the place between. We will be diving into the magical world of Leon and the Place Between by Angela McAllister. Through this enchanting story, we’ll become writers who entertain and persuade, crafting vivid setting descriptions, thought-provoking diary entries, and imaginative dialogue. Expect short burst writing opportunities, thought bubbles full of wonder, and characters who leap off the page. Our final write will be an exciting newspaper report all about the circus!

In maths, we’ll be diving deeper into multiplication and division with exciting challenges, games, and problem-solving activities. Our energetic daily times tables chants will help everyone build confidence, speed, and a real love of numbers!

Our History Topic for Autumn 2 is: Unique Somerset. Our key question will be: Why is Glastonbury Abbey such a special place in our history?

We will visit the Abbey and complete workshops to support our learning.

Science

In Science, pupils will explore key physical concepts including energy, forces, sound, electricity, and friction through hands-on investigations and engaging experiments.

They will examine how energy is transferred and transformed, investigate the effects of different forces including gravity and friction, and experiment with sound and electricity using hands-on equipment. Through inquiry-based learning, pupils will make predictions, test ideas, record results, and draw conclusions—developing both their scientific understanding and critical thinking skills.


 

In Design and Technology, pupils will explore how to make simple freestanding structures inspired by historical buildings, developing their understanding of stability, shape, and construction techniques through hands-on model-making.

In PSHE this term, the learning is designed to build on what the children have already
learnt about feelings, both comfortable and uncomfortable and
how our attitude towards life can affect our mental health. The
lessons centre around themes such as thinking positively and
calmly, managing difficult emotions, taking responsibility for
decisions and developing a growth mindset approach to learning
