Things to  look forward to this half term.

English

This half term we are looking at ‘The Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura.  We are focusing on diary writing and creating our own story.  We will learn the features of a diary, recording, retrieving information from the text and writing from a different viewpoint. We will be using expanded noun phrases and subordinating clauses in our description writing We will be using drama and role play to help with our understanding of how each of the crayons were feeling.

History

Murton Park on 11.12.23.

In our Stone Age / Bronze Age village we spent the day learning about the lives of our distant ancestors.  After the introductory talk setting the scene and introducing the key concepts of the prehistoric era, we spent the day living and working on our prehistoric village. We enjoyed making early types of clay pottery and finding out which crops and how grain was ground to make flour. We tried our hand at prehistoric art, handling objects and artefacts to help us learn the essential skills of hunting.

 

Religious Education

We are learning about Advent .   We will:

explore Advent as a time of preparation and hope.

hear stories from the Bible about the preparation for Jesus’ birth, especially the Annunciation to Mary.

discover customs and rituals associated with Advent e.g. Advent Calendar, purple altar cloth, etc.

think about people in need and preparing to help them at Christmas

We will make Christingles and celebrate with our Christingle service at St John’s Church, Ingrow on Thursday 14.12.23 and donate our food collection.
