Curriculum Overview
Summer
Literacy: We will be continuing our work on Egyptians and will be taking a closer look at non-fiction texts links with this topic. Then we look at poetry with 'A net full of stars' - we get to explore figurative language, poetry structures and make links to our geography topic. We finish off with 'Secrets of Black Rock' and discuss countries we have visited and learn about other cultures. We look at different writing styles and get the chance to create a renga poem and write in the style of Gregory Cool.
Maths: In maths this term we start with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division recap, before visiting fractions again. We then look at time and how to use analogue clocks to tell the time. Properties of shape is next where we look at different angles and the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. We finish off with mass and capacity where we get to measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml).
Science: We start things off by looking by exploring forces with magnets and compare how things move on different surfaces. We get to observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others. Then we look at plants and living things by investigating parts of a plant and their uses. The summer term science comes to a close with coastal habitats where we ask the question: What habitats are found at the coast?
History: In history we continue our work on Egypt with the topic 'Walk like an Egyptian'. We discuss the significance of the River Nile and the Pyramids. We also get to find out more about mummification and how hieroglyphics were used. We even get to spend the day as an Egyptian when we go back in time on our Egyptian Day (details to follow).
Geography: We will be looking at ‘Cool coasts’. We will be exploring coastal features and how to use the coast by asking the key questions: What is a coast? How is a coast used? We take a closer look for ourselves when we visit West Runton later in the term.
RWE: In RWE we discover more about Hinduism by investigating the key questions: How can Brahman be everywhere and in everything? Would visiting the Ganges feel special to a non-Hindu?
