  • Reading

     Disciples start the  spring term with fiction texts for the firs two weeks. During the first week, children look at the story "The Gingerbread Star". They then move on to "The Tunnel" by Antony Browne.

       

    Moving into week 3 and 4, as a class we move to Non - Fiction text and look at Isaac Newton and The discovery of Magnet and Magnes The Shepherd. We then complete the spring term with the last two weeks focus being poetry which includes a song from Moana.
