Summer 1: Weekly Timetable 

 

What are we learning about this term?

 

Summer 1

Maths

This term in Maths we will learn about unit and non-unit fractions. The children will learn to order and compare fractions and find fraction of a shape or number. We will then recap shape and learn about parallel and perpendicular lines. Following on from this we will learn to tell the time to 5 mins. Furthermore, we will have a go at expanded column multiplication and long division.

With our Times Tables we will continue to review the 2s, 5s, 10s, 3s, 4s and 8s.

 

English

Our literary theme this term is ‘From mystery to discovery’ and we will be exploring texts including Mr. Penguin: The Lost Treasure and  The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. As well as discussing and dissecting the texts through our lessons, pupils will also be given opportunities to write in response to the texts. With regard to The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, pupils will be exploring the illustrations and creating mystery setting descriptions, using a variety of grammatical and authorial tools, going on to creating action, suspense and drama in their middle-sections and endings. In the final part of the sequence, children write their own mystery stories, based upon a place of local interest, of which they have collected photographs or images, and publish them in a class collection for others to read.

 

History

This term our focus in History is Invaders and Settlers. This will see the children build upon their prior knowledge of The Celts and The Romans to gain and understanding of how the Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans played a part in the history of The United Kingdom.

 

Science

Our key question in Science this term is ‘What do the different parts of flowering plants do?’ Through this topic children will learn the different parts of a plant and what they do as well as the individual parts of a flower itself. They will look at a plants life cycle as well as how they stay healthy, reproduce and disperse their seeds.

PE

This terms PE days will be Wednesday and Friday.
