A long, long necklace that had taken Cherry days – weeks – of careful, painstaking work. It was nearly complete, and Cherry was determined it would be the longest necklace she had ever made; that it would be fit for a giant!

In Maths, we will are looking at ratio, algebra and geometry. We will also be looking at strategies to solve word problems.
In Science we will be learning about Evolution and Inheritance!
Children will be recognising that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago. They will recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents. Children will also be identifying how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
In PSHE we are learning about ‘relationships’. We will look at reconnecting with our friends, feeling safe managing worries, and what our roles responsibilities are.
In Latin, we will be looking at how some English words derive from Latin.
We will be following Charanga online this half term, looking at different beats and tempos!
In Computing, we will use Purple Mash to learn to code. We will control our own robot and create a simple game.
