The Wider Curriculum
Art
In Art, the children will be exploring proportion in drawing. We will be looking at the artist Salvador Dali to see how he used proportion to create unusual and interesting pieces of art. The children will work towards creating their own piece of art and will mirror the style Dali used.
RE
In RE, the children will be learning about Hinduism (Santana Dharma). They will be thinking about the responsibilities people have explore how the story of Rama and Sita inspires Hindus to follow their own Dharma.
History
The children will be returning to their learning of Ancient Egypt. We will be looking at the process of mummification and will explore why this was important to the Ancient Egyptians. The children will also be thinking about artefacts that have been found and what this tells us about the beliefs the Ancient Egyptians held.
Science
The children will be learning about living things and their habitats. The children will learn to recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways and we will be investigating how to use them to group a variety of living things in their local and wider environment.
Music
In music, we will be exploring how different music makes us feel both when we create it and when we listen to it. The children will be building upon their knowledge of recorders and exploring how changing dynamics or pitch changes the sound of the music.
Jigsaw
Our Jigsaw puzzle piece this term is Dreams and Goal. We will be thinking about dreams and how people have overcome challenges to achieve their dreams. We will also consider how we feel when we don’t achieve our dreams and how we could support someone though this.
PE
This term, we will be working on our gymnastic skills. The children will develop their flexibility, strength and balance techniques. They will be thinking how to evaluate their performance to help them to make progress.
English
Reading
In reading, we will be reading Leon and the Place Between. This is a magical story about a boy who visits a show and ends up exploring a world of fantasy. The children will be applying their skills of prediction, retrieval and inference to both this book and a range of other texts types including poetry.
English
The children will be using Leon and the Place Between to think about how the author has created a magical setting for a character to journey though. We will be exploring adverbs and how they can show what a character is doing. The children will continue to build upon their knowledge of fronted adverbials and use these to vary their sentence structures in narrative writing.
