This page is dedicated to all the exciting things we will be doing in class this year.

Term 1

Dear parents and carers

What makes the Earth angry?

Our topic this term is all about ‘What makes the Earth angry?’ We will be spending time looking at a range of natural disasters and their causes and effects. We will be experiencing the heat of a wildfire, seeing the effects of a Tsunami and much more!

English and Maths

Our English lessons will be linked to our topic as usual. We will be researching the causes and effects of wildfires, volcanoes, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. We will be using our knowledge to write a survivor’s diary entry, create a hurricane survival guide, create volcano haikus, and write a persuasive letter regarding climate change and its effects of natural disasters.

In Maths, we will be focusing on place value: understanding the place value of numbers up to 1,000,000; ordering, comparing and rounding numbers before moving on to addition and subtraction and statistics.

Other Subjects

Science: Forces Art/DT: Art- Phyllis Gordon- Wildfire watercolours and pencil. DT- 3d models- Volcanoes, Earthquake. PE: HRE/Invasion RE: What if God is loving and holy? Geography: Natural disasters, Tectonic plates and structure of the Earth.Continents, countries and time zones

PE
PE sessions will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays.

PE lessons will be taking place outside as well as in the hall so please ensure your child has the appropriate P.E kit ready for these days. They can take their kits home after P.E on a Friday to wash ready for the following week.

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