Summer Term
Even whilst completing our online remote learning we are still continuing to learn lots of fantastic topic work and literacy and maths skills; see below what is to come in the Summer Term
|
Literacy
In literacy we learn about how to write instructions and explainations using fronted adverbials and bossy verbs. We continue learning some of the different spelling patterns and the tricky LKS2 spellings too. We read the fantastic book The Boy Who Grew Dragons and complete some learning activities all about the journey the boy goes on. We then move onto some cross-curricular writing about the ROMANS! |

Maths
This term in maths we are doing lots of consolidating key skills and applying what we have already learnt in place value. We look at how to add and subtract money and work out the change. We have a go at even constructing out own 3D shapes! We also revisit some key learning about fractions and finding fractions of an amount. Finally we applying our maths knowledge to some problem solving too! We continue to use TT rockstars and interactive resources to support areas of our maths learning.

Science
Science this term is all about plants. Summer is the season to grow and learn about plant life. We look at parts of a plant, how water moves through a plant and the life cycle of a plant. After our learning on plants we will recap ALL of our science topics to ensure we have a full understanding, animals and humans, magnets, rocks and light.

History/ Geography
We begin exploring in the first Summer term about the Continent of Europe, looking at the geography of Europe. We think about the European union, countries of Europe, Capital cities and finish with a comparison between two countries within Europe. In the second half of the summer term we go back to history learning all about the Romans! In this topic we take part in cross-curricular learning in English and Art. In history we look at how the Roman invaded and conquered, the Roman Army and also their impact on Britain today.

Art/DT
Art this term we will be studying British artists. We will be looking at a different artist each week and learning different skills, painting landscapes, making abstract art and portraits. Then in our final DT project we will be making CARS! We will be designing our cars on paper then transferring it to design and make on purple mash. We will be then using the net to assemble it together and add an axle and wheels!

Computing
We explore how to create games on the computer, we look at simple games such as match ups and then move onto making quizzes! We also look at simulations and how situations can be simulated on a computer and then finish with making electric music on a computer. In the second half of the summer term we start a stop motion project. This is a super opportunity to work in groups and create a short video clip using stop motion. We then finish the year learning how to put together a powerpoint using microsoft.
