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

Hello children, parents and carers - Term 5

Our topic question this term will be ‘Have you thanked an inventor today?’ The children will be researching and discussing historical and modern-day inventors and thinking about how their inventions affect everyday life. They will also choose inventors that they are particularly interested in and write biographies.

Our class text will be Leonora Bolt: Secret Inventor by Lucy Brandt. This is a fun children’s book that, alongside our poem, ‘Hooray for Inventors’ (Nancy Vandenburg), will be used for shared reading, SPaG practice, reading comprehension and inspiration for art and DT.

Science learning will be ‘Electricity’, which will complement our inventors/inventions learning well. Hawks will practice making series circuits with different working components before making their own working torches.

During DT learning, Hawks will become inventors themselves - designing their own product. They will promote and present their invention during a ‘dragon’s den’ style pitch to Mrs Crascall.

Mathematical learning this term will be decimals, money and time and a mixture of written and practical activities will, once again, provide the children with fun mathematical scaffolding.

Mr Hayes will cover class teaching on Thursday mornings again this term. PE days will be Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure that your child has their PE kit in school on these days.

As always, please come and see me if you have any worries or concerns or if you just want to pop in and say hello!

All the best,

 Mrs Kennett.

Hawks Teacher.
