We have an exciting half-term ahead of us! We are studying Local Area in Geography with a focus on Manchester, answering the enquiry question 'Why do people go to Manchester?'. In English, we will be reading The Last Bear by Hannah Gold, looking at using action and dialogue to describe a scene and writing a non-chronological report based on polar bears. In maths, we will be focusing on Fractions, Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Problem Solving Including Bar Modelling. In Science, we will be learning about Evolution and Inheritance, learning about Christianity in RE, talking about Clothes in French and learning about Mechanisms in our DT lessons. Our PE this half term is Yoga and Dodgeball.
