Our learning this term

This half term our topic is 'Amazing Animals'. We will be learning all about different animals in our topic learning as well as reading texts about pets and animals. We will be taking part in the annual Writing Project and will be entering a competition piece of writing which will be a character description in the form of a poem. The inspiration for this character will come from the book 'Starbird' which is a modern fable. We will also be using this text as the basis for our class assembly which is taking place on Thursday 30th January.

See our medium term plan above for more information about our learning!
