Spring Term
During the first term, we will be focusing on the whole school topic, ‘Around the World’, which will focus on Geography (how volcanoes are formed and the role of tectonic plates) and Science (constructing a simple series electrical circuit).
In English lessons, we will be focusing on writing for a range of purposes and audiences. We will be creating a fact file about Greek Gods and Goddesses. Our key text will be ‘Leo and The Gorgon’s Curse’.
In Maths lessons, we will be becoming more confident with our use of all operations and understanding of different problems. Additionally, we will be investigating fractions, including equivalent fractions, ordering and comparing fractions and adding and subtracting fractions. We will also be working hard to learn our times tables ready for the multiplication text at the end of the year.
In reading lessons, we will use the full range of ‘Expert Tips’, to explore, interpret and understand ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.
