English

Our first book focus this half-term is ‘Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond the Fence’ by Marcus Rashford. 

We will be writing a playscript based on this book.

The second book which we will be reading is Benjamin Zephaniah’s ‘People Need People’.  We will be writing an explanation text, linked to British Values

We will also continue to do our daily whole class reading sessions, daily spelling sessions and a weekly handwriting focus session. 

You will be tested on these spellings on the first week back:

And here are the spellings for the rest of this year:

Maths 

This half term, the maths topics which we will be learning are:

·       -  Geometry – properties of shape

·       - Geometry – position & direction-

·       - Measure – converting units

·       - Measure – volume

Science 

Our topic this half-term is ‘Animals, including Humans'.  Our key questions are:

·       - How do humans change during their lifetime?

·       - Have you ever noticed how babies change as they become toddlers?

·       - Can people with longer legs jump further?

·       - What could we measure to show how humans develop as they grow older?

·       - How could we make life for older people in our community better?  

RE 

This half-term, our big question is ‘What matters most to Humanists and to Christians?’

Art

Our art topic this half-term is ‘Craft & Design: Architecture’.

French

We will be learning how to say different types of food in French.

Other Subjects

PSHE

 This half-term, our PSHE topic is ‘Relationships’.

Computing

This half-term, our topic is ‘Programming –  Selection in quizzes & Selection in physical computing’.

Learners will develop their knowledge of ‘selection’ by revisiting how ‘conditions’ can be used in programming, and then learning how the ‘if… then… else...’ structure can be used to select different outcomes depending on whether a condition is ‘true’ or ‘false’. They represent this understanding in algorithms, and then by constructing programs in the Scratch programming environment. They learn how to write programs that ask questions and use selection to control the outcomes based on the answers given. They use this knowledge to design a quiz in response to a given task and implement it as a program.

Music

We will continue to learn how to play the ukulele, playing melodies as well as practising the chords we know already.  We will also be learning new pieces to eventually take part in Come and Play with the Hallé on Tuesday 17^th June at the Bridgewater Hall.
