In IPC our topic for this term is 'Footprints from the Past'. This unit is based around the theme of dinosaurs and this term we will be learning about the different theories as to why the dinosaurs died out, about the different time periods that they lived, how to make a timeline and about fossil hunters from around the world.
English
In English this term we will be focusing on the book 'Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish'. Through this book, we will be focusing on the English skills needed to write letters and the skills needed to write an effective description. In addition to this, we will also be focusing on the use of conjunctions to create cohesion in our writing and on similes.
Maths
In maths we have been using our understanding of estimation to make logical guesses in regards to size and following this through with the use of practical investigations.

We will continue practising this for this half term.
