Derwent
Our Geography topic this half term is ...
Hot and Cold Places
How does where a place is in the world affect whether it is hot or cold?
In Geography we will be learning about:
Where are the continents and where are the oceans in the world?
Where is the equator and the North and South Poles?
Which places are closest to the equator?
Why are some places hotter or colder than others?
How can we use maps and globes to locate hot and cold places?
What is life like in a hot place compared to a cold place?
Check out our Class Dojo for updates on what we are learning.
In Science we are going to be learning all about Living Things and their Habitats.
What changes do we notice in Autumn?
What can we find in a microhabitat?
How do animals find their food?
What is a food chain?
How do plants and animals depend on each other? (roles in food chains)

Reading
Please remember to read lots at home and record in your diary. Please read other things besides your school reading book- the more the better- for example, other story and non fiction books, poems, magazines, signs, even ingredients on packets!
Times Tables
Please remember also to practise your times tables- focus on the 2X 5X and 10X tables in Derwent Class.
Remember:- Bronze means you can say the whole table in order- eg "one times two is two, two times two is four....." fluently.
Silver means you can say the answer to any sum from the times table eg "what's 4 x 5? What's 203 X 5 ?
Gold means you can say the reverse division fact- eg in five times table, what's 20 divided by 5? how many fives in 15?
In ten times table, what's 50 divided by 10?
When you practise spellings, it's a good idea to write a sentence including the spelling word you are learning. Then you are more likely to remember it !
