Summer Term Curriculum - Art / Music focus
Our theme question this term: Can we visit places without leaving home?
We are thinking about WISdom
SATs will take place during the first half of the Summer term. They will begin on Monday 11th May and finish on Thursday 14th.
We have an art and music focus this term and are learning about artists which create landscapes and cityscapes, such as Charles Fazzino and Paul Klee. In music we will be listening and responding to pieces by Gershwin and Dvorjak.
In RE lessons, we will be discussing what different religions tell us when times get hard and how religion can be a comfort to some people during difficult times.
In Science lessons with Mrs Barker, we will be learning about classification and circulation.
In computing lessons, we will be using Excel to create spreadsheets and having fun with Micro:Bits.
We are studying several fantastic books this term, including:
We will use these as the starting point for writing a variety of pieces, including letters, diaries, instructions, recipes and stories.
In maths, our focus this term is on shape, statistics and revision of work covered throughout the year.
We will also begin working on our exciting summer production.
Remember - homework is sent home on Wednesday and is due on Monday.
Reading records need to be signed and returned on Thursday.
