Welcome to Juniper Class! This page will give you information about the things we are learning in Autumn 1.
In VIPERS, we will be reading The Giant of Jum, The Lighthouse Keeper's Cat and The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. We will be looking at vocabulary, making inferences and predictions about the text, retrieving information from our text, summarising and sequencing events and explaining our reasoning.
In English, we will be working on our spelling, punctuation and grammar before moving onto a persuasive advert on healthy eating and a character flaw narrative based on The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch.
In Maths, we will be working on place value. We will look at counting and ordering numbers up to 1,000, partitioning numbers and hundreds, tens and ones. After place value, we will move onto addition and subtraction.
Our umbrella question for Geography is 'Where am I in the world?' We will be learning about regions in the UK, exploring different cities and learning about different countries in Europe.
Our umbrella question for Science is 'What would happen if we had no skeleton and didn't bother to eat?' We will be learning about the function of the skeleton and muscles, looking at different nutrients in food and what foods we need to eat to stay healthy.
In PSHE, we will be exploring 'me and my relationships' and in DT we will be learning about food and nutrition.
Our class book will be 'Giant' by Kate Scott.
