The Wider Curriculum
Science
Our science lessons will be focussing on biology; the children will learn about the parts and respective roles of the cardiovascular system. We will then learn about how we can keep out heart and lungs healthy through living a balanced lifestyle and avoiding lifestyle factors.
History
For history, we are learning about the ancient Mayans. We will learn about what life was like in this time and find out about how their lives were influenced by the environments they lived in.
RE
We will be learning about the non-religious worldview Humanism in RE. We will find out about what Humanists believe and how this affects how they live their lives. We will compare and contrast some of the key ceremonies, such as weddings or naming ceremonies, with what they may look like in Christianity or Islam.
English
Reading
In reading this half term, we are studying the book wonder. This book is told from multiple perspectives and we and concentrating on comparing and contrasting authors' voices. We will discuss authorial choices, the effect that this has on the reader and consider what we could take to use in our own work.
English
During writing sessions, we will be completing a variety of independent pieces to support our end of year assessments for writing. The children will write across a range of different genres, including narrative and non-fiction reports.
Maths
Maths
We are continuing to prepare children for their upcoming assessments in maths this half term. We will be concentrating on geometry to discuss angles. The children will learn how to calculate missing angles across a straight line, and within shapes. We will then move on and apply multiplication skills to ratio. Once we have completed these topics, we will revise some key techniques to ensure that the children are ready to show what they know in the SATs.
