Learning Rule Britannia
As Mathematicians we are...
Year 5 are focusing on place value, addition and subtraction, statistics, geometry and measures. Year 6 are focusing on place value, decimals, addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division.
As Readers and Writers we are...
We will be reading 'The Nowhere Emporium', where children are transported into a world of magic and enchantment. After half term we will be reading 'Goodnight Mister Tom', a WW2 story with a variety of themes.
As Investigators we are...
Science: Electricity. Recognising electrical symbols, understanding the components of a circuit, creating simple circuits and explaining why different components are needed for different circuits.
As Enquirers we are...
Geography: North America. Discovering the continent, how it differs from the UK, why industry is important and how children's lives are different. History: WW2. How people's lives changed after WW1, why WW2 happened, who Chamberlain was and the speech he gave, then the impact of WW2 on the North West. RE: Life as a journey. Is every person's journey the same, and why do people of faith make pilgrimages? At Christmas, how our celebrations reflect its true meaning.
As Creators we are...
Art: Drawings. Learning about Henry Moore and understanding perspective, vanishing point and horizon, then completing a drawing in his style. Music: Technology. The difference between digital and live sound, how technology is used in the music industry and why music brings people together. PE: Gymnastics, learning to balance and create sequences, plus swimming throughout the term.
As Communicators we are...
Computing: Coding. Learning to code efficiently, simulate a physical system, use functions, strings, text variables and concatenation. French: Learning who they are, where they live and who is in their family.
As Young People we are...
Learning about ourselves and our relationships with others. We will particularly look at working together and how we can solve friendship problems.
