Books this Autumn Term
Our focus books this term are Love, Your Bear Pete by Dyan Sheldon. Although she misses her stuffed bear after he is left behind on the bus, a young girl enjoys the post cards he sends her from all the faraway places he visits.
The Tin Forest by Helen Ward, is our second book of
the term.
"There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten that was filled with all the things that no one wanted." So begins Helen Ward's tale of the Tin Forest where an old man lives who tidies the rubbish and dreams of a better place.
Science
Our Science focus is finding out more about Friction and Light & Dark. We have some great investigations planned in order to learn more.
