Curriculum Information
Autumn
Christmas crafts and nativity play
Royal Day - we loved dressing up for our Royal Family day! We listened to some Tudor music, drew Windsor Castle, practised some Tudor dancing and even had a royal banquet!
Maths - This term we have learnt Place Value, Addition, Subtraction and Money. We used practical resources to help us and we have even challenged ourselves by using the working wall problem solving and reasoning questions. This term we have improved our arithmetic through weekly practise and some of us are even getting full marks now! We have particularly enjoyed practising our times tables this term using Time Table Rockstars!
Literacy - This term we have particularly enjoyed writing a narrative to tell the story of Stick Man. The children were able to use nouns, verbs and even some adjectives! We practised our conjunctions to improve our sentences and make our story more interesting. We even designed our own front covers for the book!

Our Guiding Question this half term is: How has the landscape in Barnsley changed over the last 100 years?
To help us answer this question we will be thinking about the following things:

What did Barnsley look like in the past?
What does Barnsley look like today?

To help us answer this question we will be visiting the National Coal Mining Museum for our fieldwork.
