This half term in Autumn our topic is the Rainforest. We will be thinking about why the Rainforest is important to Brazil, the Rainforest as a habitat and how it compares to Tadley as well as the lifecycles of plants and animals. We have been writing stories based in the Amazon rainforest, and will be writing reports about the rainforest, and writing letters.

Later in the term, our learning challenge will be based around the question “How can Mr Golding live to be 100?” and we will be looking at how the heart and circulatory system work, the Heart Foundation will be coming in to speak to us all and we will be thinking about healthy lifestyles. We will be writing explanation texts, performing poetry and will be reading and writing about the books shortlisted for the Hampshire Picture Book Award.

We will be swimming throughout the first half of this term and will end the half term with our overnight stay at the Sustainability Centre, which we are all looking forward to.
