ENGLISH

 

Rose Blanche is a story about a young girl in Germany during the war who notices people being taken away and discovers a camp where children are kept behind a fence. Feeling sorry for them, she secretly brings food to help. The book shows how one child’s kindness and bravery can make a difference, even in a very difficult time.

SHARED READING
 
In Shared Reading, we are using a range of books, as part of the 'Steps to Read' programme.
CLASS READER
 

Our Class Reader, as voted for by the class children, will be ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ 

This book is the real diary of a girl named Anne Frank, who lived during World War II. Anne had to hide with her family in a secret place because it was not safe for them outside. While in hiding, she wrote about her thoughts, feelings, and everyday life in her diary. Her writing shows us what it was like to be her age in such a difficult time, and how she still found hope and dreamed about the future.

SCIENCE

 Our Science theme this term is ‘Electricity’. In this unit, children will associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit; they learn how to compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches; and finally, they use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
