2024-2025

English

In our first writing journey 'The Lost Words', we will be writing poetry about the importance of  protecting our British wildlife.

We will then use the text driver 'Pandora Discovered' to craft a non-chronological report detailing our own planet.

Maths

Our maths learning will begin with geometry, comparing and classifying geometric shapes as well as finding unknown angles. We will then be solving problems around decimal, fraction and percentage equivalents. Finally, we will revise all four operations to ensure we are accurate when using formal written methods.

History

This post-1066 thematic unit on historical crime and punishment will explore stories about criminals and how fairly they were dealt with. We will gain an understanding of the long arc of time. Also, we will develop an understanding of historical concepts: change continuity, turning points.

Science

Over the half term, we will predict and explain how the temperature of each planet varies and consider which plants could potentially host life. We will also consider how the distance from a light source affects how much lights hits the object. As well as this, we will consider if having more moons equates to more light.

RE

In this topic, we will share the story of the Buddha under the bodhi tree. From this, we will then create our own artwork to depict enlightenment before exploring the celebrations of Wesak and how this links to the daily lives of Buddhists.

Art/DT

Our DT unit will focus on cooking and nutrition as we develop a recipe for spaghetti bolognese and adapt it to improve its nutritional content.

Computing

During our second 'Mars Rover' unit, we will be creating a pixel picture and saving a JPEF as a bitmap. We will also begin to use 3D design tools.

PSHE (Scarf)

During our PSHE lessons, we will be identifying people who can support individuals dealing with a challenging time of change as well as defining the word ‘puberty’, considering some of the physical and emotional changes associated with it.

PE

Both our indoor and outdoor PE will use our scheme, Real PE.

MFL – French

Our conversations this term will focus on discussing life at home.

Music

We will work towards creating, recording and performing a melody that fits both the lyrics and the four-chord backing track of the chorus.
