In Unit 2, our English lessons will continue to focus on the book Holes by Louis Sachar. Holes tells the story of a boy called Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to a juvenile detention centre called Camp Green Lake. At this camp, the boys have to dig holes everyday to atone for their crimes, but they soon begin to wonder: what are they digging for? Using this book, the children will write a balanced argument examining the positives and negatives of Camp Green Lake operating as a juvenile detention centre. In maths, the children will be starting their algebra topic, where they will be using function machines, will be finding unknown values, and solving equations with one and two unknown values.
In Science, our topic will be 'Exciting Electricity'. The children will be learning how to draw and make circuits, and exploring how changing different components will affect the rest of the circuit. In art, the children will be exploring painting through studying the work of graffiti artist Bansky. They will creat their own piece inspired by his work. Our topic in Computing is Programming: Variables in Games. In this topic, the children will be using scratch to create their own games including using and changing variables. In History, we will be studying King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, and debating who we think was the most influential Tudor monarch. In PSHE, our topic will be Dreams and Goals. In this, the children will be thinking about their dreams and goals for theirs and others' futures, thinking about what obstacles might lie in their way and how to overcome them. Finally this term, in PE, the children will be playing golf and football.
