History |
| This half term, we will be looking at how Chorlton-cum-Hardy has changed over the last 100 years. We will be studying old maps and plotting the school and other landmarks on them. By looking at pictures from Chorlton in the past 100 years we will notice similarities and differences. We will then take these pictures with us on a walk and stand in the position that the photographs were taken and take note of the similarities and differences. We will begin to understand the change of use for the shops on Beech Road as well as how shopping has changed within living memory. We will also learn about the opening of the railway in Chorlton and the transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown. We will learn some of the ways in which we find out about the past and identify different ways in which it is represented. |
English
|
| This half term, we will read the texts ‘Hunter’s Icy Adventure’ by Ellie Jackson & Laura Callwood and ‘Sunny’s Blazing Battle’ by Ellie Jackson & Liz Oldmeadow. Using these stories, we will complete writing activities which include non-chorological reports about animals in danger from climate change and write letters to encourage others to help.
In guided reading, we will continue to develop children’s decoding strategies to support their reading, encourage children to listen to their own voice and develop children’s ability to answer inference and retrieval questions of any given text. In handwriting, we will continue to practice forming lowercase letters of the correct size relative to one another and continue to use some of the diagonal and horizontal stroked needed to join.
|
Maths |
| In maths we will continue to consolidate our leaning of money, statistics, time and position and direction. We will be learning how to add amounts and find change, interpret data in a pictogram, bar chart or tally chart and read the time to 15 minutes. We will also focus on how to approach worded problems and reasoning style questions. |
Science |
| In science we will continue our learning of plants. The children will continue to observe their sunflower seed that they planted each week and measure its growth. Using our knowledge that we have learnt so far we will be setting up an investigation to answer our question, ‘What does a plant need to stay healthy?’ We will then be presenting our results in our own block graph. |

Behaviour and Attitudes |
|
This half term we have a school-wide focus on transition. Through discussion and collaboration, the children will have the opportunity to share any questions or worries they may have about transition into year 3, as well as looking forward to the new and exciting challenges ahead. |
UN Convention of the Rights of the Child |
| This half term we have our Gold accreditation visit. The Gold accreditation is the highest recognition from UNICEF UK, and it reflects a long-term commitment to ensuring that children’s rights are understood, respected, and promoted by everyone in our school community – staff, pupils, and families alike. During the visit, UNICEF assessors will speak with pupils, staff, and members of the school community to find out how well children’s rights are understood and how they influence school life. They will be looking at how our pupils: • Are aware of their rights and respect the rights of others As well as going for gold, we will be continuing our Rights focus with Articles of the Week.
