In Autumn 1
we are learning...
In Writing, we will not only consolidate the knowledge we’ve gained so far but also expand our repertoire of clause types by using relative clauses. We’ll employ these in conjunction with expanded noun phrases to craft purposeful and captivating character descriptions. Our character descriptions will be centred around Miss Trunchbull, and we’ll also embark on the exciting journey of crafting an adventure story drawing inspiration from our class read, ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell.
In Maths, we will be focusing on Place Value (to 100,000), learning to read, write and partition numbers to 100,000, round numbers within 100,000, read and write Roman numerals, as well as position numbers along a number line. We will then focus on addition and subtraction including formal and mental methods to help problem solve.
In Geography, we will be exploring Whitby. We will look at its similarities and differences to Leeds, alongside its human and physical features and its economic past.
In French we will be learning traditional games and songs and looking at similarities and differences between France and England.
In Oracy we will be developing our speaking and listening skills through weekly discussion topics and group work.
In RE we will be learning about God and what it means to be holy and loving.
In Science, we will be learning about space.
In PSHE – My Healthy Self. We will be understanding how everyday choices can support physical
and emotional wellbeing by exploring nutrition, physical activity and self-regulation. We will learn to read food labels, identify ways to build more movement into our daily routines and practise
strategies for managing emotions and seeking support when needed.
In Art, our unit focuses on understanding retrofuturism, developing skills in evaluating images and creating art through various drawing processes, including collagraph printmaking all inspired by space and the solar system.
In PE and Games, we will be developing our football skills and taking part in health related exercises.
In Music, we will be learning about melody and harmony.
Spellings will be taught each Friday and then tested the following week. The link below maps out the words for the half term ahead.
