Crew Team: Mr Green, Mr. Lowe, Miss Palmer and Mrs Mcfaul.

English

In English, we’ll be reading and exploring “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” – looking at characters, setting, and key events, as well as developing our own imaginative writing inspired by the story.
We’ll also work on speaking and listening through drama, hot-seating, and retelling parts of the story.

You can listen to the story here:

Life and Living Skills

Our life and living skills lessons will link to the book, focusing on food production, packaging, and healthy choices. We’ll explore the journey of ingredients from farm to fork, and the differences between processed vs fresh food.
We’ll also do some hands-on cooking linked to chocolate and sweets (with a healthy twist!).

Science

We’ll look at the science of food – how ingredients change when heated or cooled, and how the digestive system works (what happens to all that chocolate once it’s eaten!).
Lots of fun experiments and demonstrations to come.

Maths

We'll be focusing on fractions this half term – including finding fractions of amounts, comparing and ordering fractions, and using them in real-world contexts (like dividing chocolate bars fairly, of course!).
