Term: Spring 1

Our Learning this term:

In English, we’re going to have a blast with storytelling and persuasive writing. Students will get to unleash their creativity as they write adventure stories inspired by the book The Stone Age Boy. It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to explore different times and places through their narratives. Plus, they’ll create a persuasive brochure about intriguing spots like Skara Brae, sharpening their skills in convincing readers while discovering some fascinating historical sites.

In Art, we’ll be focusing on Cloth, Thread, and Paint. Students will discover how artists blend different materials to create beautiful pieces that reflect landscape inspirations. Using acrylic paints and stitching techniques, they’ll craft their own painted and stitched art, giving them a fun way to express their insights about the world around them.

For Computing, we’ll be getting hands-on with creating media through desktop publishing. Students will learn to edit and enhance their projects, mastering the tools to publish polished pieces. This is a brilliant way for them to express their ideas visually in our digital age.

In Religious Education, we’ll explore how festivals and worship convey what matters to Muslims. We’ll have discussions and activities that reveal the significance of these traditions and how they help foster understanding and respect for different cultures.

In Science, we’ll take a closer look at Material Properties, specifically Rocks. We’ll ask if all rocks can be used for the same things and do some hands-on experiments to explore their different properties. This inquiry will ignite critical thinking as we discover the various uses of rocks in our lives.

For PSHE, we’ll chat about Britain and the rights and responsibilities we all share in our country. Students will dive into discussions about being active citizens and understanding what it means to have rights, making it an interactive and thought-provoking session.

In Spanish, we’ll focus on learning the names of vegetables. This fun vocabulary lesson will not only enhance their language skills but also connect them to a richer cultural experience.

Finally, in Maths, we’ll explore multiplication and division along with lengths and perimeter. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving challenges, students will boost their understanding of these concepts while applying them to real-life scenarios.

Online Learning:

Tasks will be set on Century and we encourage children to practise their multiplication knowledge on TTRS weekly.
