In Autumn 1, our English lessons will focus on the book 'A Kind of Spark' by Elle McNicoll, which tells the story of Addie who campaigns for a memorial to be built to remember the witches who were put on trial and executed in her village. From this text, we will be writing character descriptions and information texts. Our maths topics for Autumn 1 will be place value (numbers up to 10 million) and the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). In history we will be studying the topic ‘Votes for Women’, where we will be looking at the work of the Suffragists and the Suffragettes and the work that they did to campaign for women to receive the right to vote. In science, our topic will be ‘Life Lab: Life Cycles’, where we will be learning about the life cycles of different animal groups, plants and humans. In Computing, we will be learning about data and information and we will be introducing the children to spreadsheets. Children will learn how to answer questions by using spreadsheets to organise and calculate data. In music, our topic will be: ‘Hey Mr Miller!’ In this topic, children will study swing music, including the work of Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. They will build up to performing and singing a class arrangement as an ensemble. In PSHE, our topic will be Being Me, and in PE/Games we will be doing basketball and gymnastics. 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. Oxford Reading Scheme books should be in your child's bag every day in case a teacher/TA needs to read with your child.
