TERM 2
This term, our learning will be centred around creativity, curiosity and developing confidence across all subjects.
In English, we will begin by exploring The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan. The children will discuss the themes within the story, make predictions and retell key events before creating their own imaginative “lost thing” characters and narratives. Later in the term, we will read The Lizzie and Belle Mysteries, writing in different styles such as posters, diary entries and letters. We will finish by learning about Ignatius Sancho and writing a biography inspired by his remarkable life.
In Maths, our focus will be on multiplication and division, including understanding factors, multiples and prime numbers, as well as square and cube numbers. We will also begin to work with fractions, recognising and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, and using these to compare, add and subtract.
Our Science topic is Earth and Space. We will investigate the planets in our solar system, explore the heliocentric model, understand Earth’s rotation and learn about the movement of the Moon.
In Geography, we will study Scandinavia, comparing its climate, physical features and human geography with places in the UK. This will lead to planning our own imaginary tourist visit.
In Art and Design Technology, we will explore different types of bread, taste-test flavours and design and make our own bread recipe. We will also complete creative projects linked to our whole-class reading.
Our PSHE theme is Celebrating Difference, where we will discuss how to respect and value different cultures and experiences, and how to challenge unkind behaviour and promote inclusion.
We are looking forward to a thoughtful, creative and reflective term together.
