Autumn Term
English
This term, we are reading 'Tusk Tusk' and using it as inspiration to write our own narrative fiction. We are then completing non-chronological reports all about Hadrian's wall which we learned about in history. Later in the term we will learn about kennings and cinquains in poetry.
Maths
We will be covering the following topics in our Maths lessons: place value, followed by addition and subtraction in calculation before length and perimeter in measurement. We are practising our times tables every day, ready for the multiplication test in June. Please encourage your child to use TT Rockstars as much as possible.
Science
We have been enjoying learning about states of matter in our physics topic. Ask us about solids, liquids and gasses!
History
We are LOVING learning about the Roman conquest of Britain; why they came here, who was Boudicca and what impact did the Romans have. We're being visited by archaeologists who are investigating the very local Melandra fort, and later in the year we will become Roman soldiers as we visit Chester!
Geography
We are learning about volcanoes! We can't wait to learn about how and where they form, and how people live alongside even active volcanoes.
Art
We are learning about the French artist Mattise and imitating his techniques to create our own art using a variety of mediums.
Music
We are using the pentaglock, along with other percussion instruments, to learn about rhythm and notation.
Computing
We are learning about how computers are networked around the globe to create the internet, what a website is and whether we can trust information we see online. Finally we will create our own websites all about our class! After half term we will learn about audio mediums, before recording our own podcasts!
Religious Education
We are learning about what kind of world did Jesus want and how is his message spread around the world. After half term we will learn about the Hindu religion.
Physical Education
We will be exploring a variety of invasion games including hockey and rugby. Every Friday we go swimming at Glossop Swimming Baths.
French
We will be learning colours and body parts
