What are we learning about in Term 1?

Welcome to Term 1

Our topic title is, ‘Sand-sational Changes: What’s Washing Over the UK?’ As you may be able to guess, this term will be based on changes in the UK with a focus on coastal erosion. We will learn about the weathering processes that occur on our coastlines and visit these first-hand to carry out some fieldwork.

Maths
Our learning this term in Maths will be a recap of place value and written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. (We’re easing you back in gently)

English
Our English this term will be based on the book ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’. We will be writing character and setting descriptions, writing a discussion and explanation text and a biography to finish.

Religious Education
This term we will be learning about the Creation and Fall as part of the Big Story of Christianity and do out best to answer the following question: Creation and science - conflicting or complementary.

Science
Big Idea: Living and non-living things can be grouped in a variety of ways In Science this term we will be learning all about living things and their habitats. We will learn how living things are classified based on observable characteristics and talk about why the classification of plants and animals is necessary.

devices. 

Homework
