The children will write an apology letter to their parents, aplogising for venturing into the terrifying woods. We will first look at features of an apology letter before we write our own.

History
Children will continue to write their letter to Amy Johnson. In their letter they will include information about her achievements and they will tell her the public perception of her. The children will also ask Amy Johnson questions.
Science
We will be thinking about how materials change shape. The children will recognise that some materials cannot change shape, whilst others may but this change will not always be permanent.
ICT
Our ICT slot is on Tuesday afternoon. This week we will continue to explore programming. We are the programmers of the future!
Music
Ministrings will continue every Wednesday. This week we will play some instruments that belong in the string family.
PE
Our PE slot is on Monday afternoon. We are currently focusing on balance and co-ordination. 
Please ensure all children have their full PE kit in school (fully named).
Art
Children will be drawing lines of different shapes and thickness, using different grades of pencil. The children will create different tones using light and dark. The children will also show patterns and textures in their drawings.
PSHE
We have introduced the children to a programme called Zones of Regulation which we are hoping will help regulate feelings and emotions and offer the children the correct way to talk about their feelings. This week we will continue to think of suitable ways to regulate their feelings and match emotions to different zones.
