In English this half-term, we will be starting off with our PSHE unit 'Love You Forever'. This unit looks at the various lfie stages we go through and offers a nice reflection on life so far and what may be to come. After this unit, for the rest of the half-term we shall be looking at report writing - using information, explanation and persuasion within our writing. This unit will lead us to write an independent version of a booklet based on an amazing animal. Our text will be 'Can we save the tiger?'.
In Maths, we shall be exploring place value in the first few weeks before moving on to the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Our Science topic for this half term shall be animals including humans. Throughout this topic, we shall be working towards being able to:
-
-
Identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and explain the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood
-
Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function
-
Describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.
-
Our new Geography topic is going to be all about the United Kingdom!! We shall be exploring the countries that make up the UK, the counties, towns and cities within the UK as well as identifying the geographical features throughout the UK.
Our Art and D.T. lessons will be linked to our United Kingdom theme - using various mediums to recreate street art drawings, patterns and styles.
In P.E., the children will cover hockey and tag rugby.
Kind regards
Mr Orford
