In Unit 5, our English lessons will focus on the book ‘Lesser Spotted Animals’ by Martin Brown. Inspired by the weird and wonderful animals in this book, the children will create their own animals, and write an information text to teach others all about their animals. In maths, the children will be looking at converting units of measure, shape/geometry, and position and direction.
In Science, our topic will be 'Life Lab: Classification'. The children will be understanding how all living things are classified, and creating and using their own classification systems. In art, the children will be completing a unit of work based on Pop Art. This will include studying a range of Pop Artists and creating different pieces of work inspired by them. Our topic in Computing is programming. In this topic, the children will be using scratch to create and use inputs and outputs on a controllable device. In History, we will be learning about the Industrial Revolution and who/what were the main inventors and creations that were developed at the time, and how this impacted people’s lives. In PSHE, our topic will be Healthy Me. In this, the children will be thinking about the health 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 dodgeball and athletics.
Home learning will be sent out every Wednesday and will be due the following Monday. The first home learning will be sent out on Wednesday 10th September. Spelling tests will be every Monday and the first spelling test will be on Monday 15 th September. Please remember to record your three weekly reads in your reading records and hand in every Monday.
