The Wider Curriculum
We will be learning about electricity in science, our VIPS are:
-
Adding more cells to a complete circuit or increasing the voltage will increase its efficiency.
-
Adding more components to a circuit will decrease its efficiency
-
Turning a switch off breaks a circuit so the circuit is not complete, and electricity cannot flow.
-
Circuit diagrams have recognised symbols
We will also be developing our ability to work scientifically, including taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate
Our focus religion this half term is Hinduism. We will be learning that:
-
At the heart of Hindu tradition is the concept of Brahman – the Supreme Being.
-
Deities, like Krisha or Ganesh, reveal aspects of Brahman in human form.
-
There is a spark of Brahman within each person called the Atman.
-
Brahman is the world and everything in it, a Supreme Being who joins all things together.
In MFL, we will be continuing with French. The children will be learning the names for 10 rooms of a home in French, to say where their home is and whether they live in a house or a flat as well as how to ask somebody what rooms they have or do not have in their home.
Our PE days will be Wednesday and Friday. In gymnastics, we will develop flexibility, strength, technique and balance while mastering floor shapes and floor movements with flow and control. While learning net & wall games, Tennis, Badminton, Table Tennis and Volleyball, the children will play competitive games, modified where appropriate and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending
English
In reading, we will be looking at the text 'Hatchet'. In this story, a boy is left stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. We will be using this text to support the children in developing their reading fluency through reading aloud. We will also concentrate on developing the ability to read with high levels of expression. This will support the children in developing their understanding of character.
Maths
In maths, we will be extending children's understanding of the number system by studying decimals. We will review the children's knowledge of tenths and hundredths, then learn in more depth about thousandths. Once we can recognise the place value of these digits, we will practise rounding, adding and subtracting, and multiplying decimals. This will lead us in to recognising fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents.
