Term 2

Dear parents and carers

What did the Victorians do for us?

The theme for this term is the Victorians and their impact on our country. We will be reading ’A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens, which will give us an insight into Victorian life and Christmas. We will look at the expansion of the British Empire, the inventions of the Victorian era and take a look at schooling.

English and Maths

Our English lessons will be linked to our topic as usual. We will be researching and creating Queen Victoria biographies, comparing childhood in the Victorian era to now, and creating a diary of a Victorian child. We will also be learning about famous Victorian inventors and scientists and debating who changed the world the most.

We will be exploring the themes in ‘A Christmas Carol’ and creating monologues as a character from the story.

In Maths, we will be focusing on Fractions: equivalent fractions, improper fractions, adding and subtracting fractions including mixed numbers. We will then move on to Mulitiplication and Division: solving up to 4 digit by 2 digit calculations and diving using the formal written method.

Other Subjects

Science: Properties and changes of materials.

Art/DT: Clay sculpting, Dioramas

PE: Swimming and Dance

RE: Incarnation

Geography: Latitude and Longitude, Human development in the local area.

PE

PE sessions will take place on Tuesdays.

PE lessons will be taking place outside as well as in the hall so please ensure your child has the appropriate P.E kit for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Children will also need to bring a water bottle to school as we will take this outside on the days of our PE lessons.
