Term 2

Welcome to Term 2 Fireflies!

In Science, this term, we will be learning about States of Matter. We will carry out multiple experiments to see how a solid can turn into a liquid, how a liquid can turn into a gas and how a gas can turn into a liquid using water and ice. The children will then look at how all this works together in the water cycle. Information will be recorded using equipment such as thermometers and observations to make conclusions. 

In RE, we will be focusing on our Trust in God and we will be reading different stories and passages. We will be learning  about Jonah and the Whale and Zecharia. We will also revisit Mary's visit from the Angel Gabriel and discuss how this was an act of trust from Mary to be the mother to our saviour. 

In Maths, we have been learning our times tables, multiplication and division. We have looking all the times tables and their division facts. We continue to practice all of our times tables weekly and will spend as much time as possible on TTRS.

In English, we will be looking at Non-chronological reports and quest stories. Our class texts this term are, The Barnabus Project and The Firework Maker's Daughter.

In History this term, the Fireflies will be learning about the ancient Maya. This engaging and exciting topic will allow us to learn more about people in the past - including their culture and beliefs.

I am sure there will be much more to add as this term is one of the most exciting, with many Christmas activities and festivities planned! 

Thank you for your continued support,
