Miss Sheridan, Mrs Matchett and Miss Bartlett
Here are some important websites you will need access to during the term:
ENGLISH
The enduring story of the children, the breadcrumb trail and the gingerbread house is brought to life by master storyteller, Neil Gaiman. Who better to retell the Brothers Grimm's greatest, and perhaps darkest, fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel?
Coupled with breathtakingly haunting illustrations from Lorenzo Mattotti, the children will be enticed into the world and into the woods . . . so beware.
Our Class Reader, as voted for by the class children, will be ‘The Indian in the Cupboard’ by Lynn Reid banks
The Indian in the Cupboard is the first of five gripping books about Omri and his plastic North American Indian – Little Bull – who comes alive when Omri puts him in a cupboard. For Omri, it is a dream come true when the plastic American Indian he locks into the old cupboard comes to life. Little Bull is everything an Indian brave should be – proud, fearless and defiant. But being in charge of a real, live, human being is a heavy responsibility, as Omri soon discovers. And when his best friend, Patrick, is let in on the secret, he soon realises that life-changing decisions lie ahead.
During this half term you will be learning about Area, Perimeter and Volume.
