English	This week we are reading our book “Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Dreadful Spell!” This week we are publishing our narratives and sharing them with the rest of the class. We are also writing a review about each other's stories saying which parts of the story we liked best.
Maths	This week we are looking at addition. We will learn about number bonds to 20 and combining two numbers together. We use a ten frame and the bar model to support our addition.
Science	This week we are looking at magnets. We will investigate which materials are magnetic and which are not. We find out about the north and south poles of a magnet and discover that opposite poles attract and that the same poles repel.
History	In History, we are continuing to learn about castles. This week we are going to find out about the Tower of London and why it was built. We are going to get ready for our trip to the Tower of London!
