Home Learning Challenge:

Our Home Learning this half term will be times tables and weekly spellings.  It is also very important for you to read every night and for a parent/carer to log this in the reading diary.

English 

In English we will be looking at the book The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

We will consider how the author creates a mysterious atmosphere in the opening chapter, which leaves the reader with many questions. Then learn how the Iron Man goes from being feared due to his difference, to being understood, accepted and ultimately admired.Considering the deeper meaning behind the Iron Man’s story can help us identify key themes such as difference, perception and understanding which are all explored through the Iron Man’s character arc.
