Welcome to Chestnut Class
We are really looking forward to an exciting year of learning. Please keep checking our class page for more information.
Autumn 2 - Up in Smoke
This half-term our topic is 'Up in Smoke'. In History, we will be learning about the Great Fire of London and the impact it had on the city. In Art, we will be looking at Pointillism to create some inspired fire art.
We started this half-term with Maths Week. Our learning was based on the Crystal Maze. We completed three different challenges linked to mathematicians from different countries to earn crystals.
This half term we have had a visit from West Sussex Fire Service and 'MyDentist'.
The Fire Service taught us how to be safe during a fire and who we need to contact to keep us safe. We also got to explore the fire engine and learn about all the different tools they have.
Our visit from the dentist discussed with us the importance of dental hygiene and how we should we looking after our teeth.
Autumn 1
Our topic this half-term is 'Field to Fork'. In Geography, we will be focusing on food and where it comes from and in Science we will be thinking about what plants need to survive. Our main text in English is 'Avocado Asks' by Momoko Abe.
Olympic Maths Investigation Day
We took part in different activities to collect data. We did 'Cotton Bud Archery', 'Pom Pom Shot Put' and timed ourselves in some sprint races. We had to record our scores for each event. Then we used the data to record a bar chart.
We loved our Maths parade and enjoyed seeing everyone's outfits.
