TERM 2
This half term, our learning journey will take us on an exciting exploration of Spain and Catalonia. We'll be comparing life in the UK and Spain, learning about the physical and human geography of the country, and discovering why tourism is so important there.
In English, we'll be diving into The Mermaid of Zennor, using it to inspire our own legends, recounts, and diary entries. Our Spelling work will focus on different word endings and prefixes to strengthen our writing skills.
In Maths, we will begin by consolidating our understanding of addition and subtraction, then move on to area and multiplication and division, developing fluency with times tables and related division facts.
Our Science topic, Electricity, will teach us how circuits work. We'll investigate conductors and insulators, explore switches, and learn how electrical components function within a circuit. In Computing, we are developing our coding skills by programming in Scratch, learning how to control sprites and create interactive games.
During DT and Art, we shall be exploring the Pop Art movement, focusing on the work of Andy Warhol. This will give us opportunities to experiment with colour, shape, and pattern to create our own Pop Art-inspired self-portraits. We will also be creating photo frames. In Music, we'll continue to learn to play the glockenspiel, focusing on rhythm, melody, and performance. Our RE lessons will explore the Hindu festival of Diwali, learning about its meaning and how it is celebrated.
In PE, we will be covering gymnastics and hockey, developing balance, coordination, teamwork, and control.
Finally, in PSHCE, through our Celebrating Difference theme, we'll explore how our differences make us special and how to appreciate and respect others.
We're also looking forward to enrichment activities, including Anti-Bullying Week, the Remembrance Service, and Children in Need.
