In English, we are exploring Arthur and the Golden Rope by Joe Todd-Stanton. Through this exciting Norse-Myth adventure story, children will develop their narrative writing skills, using rich vocabulary, effective description and dialogue to bring characters and settings to life. They will explore myths and legends and use their learning to plan and create their own engaging mythical stories.
In Maths, we shall be exploring roman numerals and place value as well as the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
In Science, we are investigating forces. Children will explore gravity, friction & air resistance through practical experiments. They will learn how forces affect movement, how mechanisms like levers, pulleys & gears work, & apply their understanding to real-life contexts.
In Topic, we are exploring the fascinating world of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Children will discover why these groups came to Britain, where they settled and what everyday life was like. We will explore Viking raids and invasions, Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and key events and individuals, while using maps, timelines and historical sources to understand how this important period helped shape Britain today.
In Art & DT, we are taking inspiration from the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings to explore traditional jewellery and purses. Children will investigate patterns, symbols and designs from the period before developing their own ideas. They will practise a range of creative and practical skills to design and make their own Viking-inspired jewellery and purses, evaluating and improving their work along the way.
In P.E., the children will cover attack v defence games with a focus on tag rubgy and netball
Kind regards
Mr Orford and Mrs Cody
