In Unit 4, our English lessons will focus on the Macbeth written by Shakespeare. Based on this storyline, the children will retell the opening chapter focussing on using dialogue to enhance the action and convey the characters within. In maths, the children will be continuing to deepen their knowledge on decimals, be introduced to negative numbers and use this knowledge to interpret and create bar graphs and tables in statistics.
In Science, our topic will be 'Clever Chemistry'. The children will be classifying materials and investigating their properties such as conductivity and insulation. In art, the children will be completing a unit of work based on The Galapagos. This will include sculpting with clay, painting and drawing. Our topic in Computing is Creating Media- 3D modelling. In this topic, the children will be able to explain what 3D modelling is, resize, lift/lower and recolour a 3D object and to create a 3D model for a given purpose. In Geography, we will be thinking about why Nevada is prone to earthquakes and what causes them. In PSHE, our topic will be Healthy Me. In this, the children will be thinking about the heath risks of smoking, alcohol and anti-social behaviour. We will look at the different attitudes people have to food and how to respect and value your body. Finally this term, in PE, the children will be playing basketball and participating in dance.
