Welcome to Fox Class

Autumn Term

What impact did World War One and World War Two have on Britain and Europe?

This term we will be exploring about how both of the World Wars began, and will learn to sequence events relating to these two wars. We will explore what it was like to live through the world wars for different groups of people, including soldiers and children. We will also look at how they created different types of change, including social and political change. We hope to link this topic to lots of other areas of our learning. In English, we will be writing short, descriptive stories about D-Day, whilst in Art we will create our very own propaganda posters. In geography, we will explore the continent of Europe, and how this has changed since the world wars.

PE

PE is every Monday and Thursday. Please make sure that you have a PE kit suitable for all weather in on each of these days. It will be useful if PE kit can be kept in school all week, as sometimes our PE days might change due to weather and other activities.

Homework

Must:

Our ‘must’ homework will be set on a Friday and is expected back in the following Thursday. This includes:

• Spellings to be practised for a spelling assessment on Thursdays
• -MyMaths/English homework

Should:

• Children are expected to read 5 days a week at home. This can be alone or with an adult, but we encourage sharing books at home! This should be recorded in children’s reading diaries.
• Children are expected to practise times tables regularly. Being quick at recalling times tables is very helpful in maths lessons, and supports lots of other maths learning that we do in school. Children can practise with others or practise online using Times Tables Rockstars.

Could:

• Children might also like to complete one or more of the Nandos challenges! These are not compulsory, but are fun activities which relate to our topic, and can be done with parents at home.
