Hello Elm Class!
I hope you all enjoyed the summer break and feel ready for an exciting autumn term.
This half term, we will be focusing on the book ‘Counting on Katherine' by Helaine Becker. 'From Katherine's early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, Counting on Katherine is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.' We will find out about Katherine's legacy with space exploration, and celebrate black history through a range of people who have impacted the world.
Have a look at the Curriculum Map 1 to see an overview of the subject planning for Autumn Term 1.
PE this term will be every Friday (tennis with a specialist coach). PE kit is a white t-shirt and black joggers/shorts. Most of our PE sessions will take place in an outdoor environment (weather permitting), so a sweatshirt/hoodie may be needed.
Maths and spelling homework will be set every Friday. The learning will link to what we have been learning in class with the maths set on Mathletics and spelling on Seesaw.
