Summer 1
During this half term within our subjects we will be focusing on the following:
- Topic - History: This half term in History, we are asking the big question “How have explorers changed the world?” The children will learn to describe what an explorer is by imagining a journey. They will ask questions about different explorers and their discoveries and achievements. They will order events on a timeline and use photographs to find out about the past, as well as identifying how exploring has changed over time.
- English: Our story this half term is "Coming to England" by Floella Benjamin.
- Guided Reading: We will explore the text "Look Up!" by Nathan Bryon
- Maths:
- Statistics
- Money
- Fractions
- Science: Plant Growth
In Science, the children will plant sweet pea seeds and carry out a comparative test to identify what conditions seeds need to grow. They will work scientifically to observe and measure growth, recording data in tables. They will come to recognise that seeds and plants contain everything they need to grow into a plant, as well as describing what they need to germinate and understanding the effect light has on plant growth.
- Learning For Life: Safety and Changing Bodies
- Religion and Worldviews- Big Question: "How and why is Shabbat important to some Jewish people in Britain?"
