Term 3: Bright Lights, Big City

English

Focus text: The Bear Under the Stairs by Helen Cooper

This wonderfully engaging story encourages readers to remember and discuss their own fears from when they were very little. Oak class realise now that often it's only our imagination playing tricks on us. There is a Bear Under William's stairs though and we're doing our best to help him find a solution!

Topic: Bright Lights, Big City

Hang on, there's someone new in town! Marley the Meerkat (he's come all the way from Zambia, you know!) is here to find out all about our capital city and he needs your help.

We will be helping Marley find out all about London, including it's history, famous landmarks and transport. We will be stepping back in time to discover what happened in the Great Fire of London.  We will be creating a model of the bakery on Pudding Lane.. .Stand well back and watch how the flames spread. London's burning! Fire, fire! Fire, fire!
