Autumn 2: Lessons from the past

Our topic focus for this term will be World War 2.  Children will develop their comparing and contrasting skills throughout the topic.  We will also look at how rationing affected those in the war and we will try our hand at cooking a wartime recipe.  We will spend some time on 'make do and mend' activities as well as finding out what it was like to be an evacuee in the war.  Children will also spend time learning about morse code and how lessons from coding have helped shape our lives today.  This will link with our ICT focus of coding.  As we move towards the end of term we will compare and contrast a wartime Christmas to how we spend our time at Christmas. 

In Welsh we will continue to develop our newyddion vocabulary as well as looking at clothing through the seasons.

In PE, our focus will be on wartime team games, where the children will team building skills and skills that would have been used during the war.

In Maths, we will be focussing on addition and subtraction before moving on to temperature.  The topic also allows us to develop our measuring skills through cooking and rationing.

We are also going to be having lots of Christmas fun this term with our Christmas concert and crafts taking place over the last couple of weeks.
