Term 5
Maths
In term 5, we will begin by returning to our fractions block. We will build on the knowledge the children gained in term 4, to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, before diving in deeper to partition the whole. We will finish our fractions block by using all the reasoning and problem solving skills we have learned to solve word problems involving both unit and non-unit fraction.
Next, we will look at money. The children will recap previous learning from Key Stage 1 and then developing this knowledge to convert between pounds and pence as well as finding change. Again, we will focus on reasoning and problem solving skills by using a range of word problems to deepen their understanding.
Our final block of term 5 will focus on time. The children will be able to tell time to 5, 10 and 15 minutes, as well as recap their learning on the days of the week and months of the year.
English
In Term 5, our Power of Reading text will be 'Gregory Cool' by Caroline Binch. This book links perfectly to our History and Geography theme 'People All Over the World'. This beautiful picture book takes place in Tobago and will give the children the opportunity to look closely at life in another country. This term, we will continue to develop those skills we have learned so far in year 3, by predicting and empathising with characters. We will then being to develop the children's writing and language skills further to write letters, and create a play script. Our acting skills will also be put to the test, when the children will have the opportunity to rehearse and act out their playscripts in order to retell the story. This term, we will also be incorporating music into our English lessons. We will use our senses to imagine what it would be like to be in Tobago, and use instruments to represent the different features of a scene.
History and Geography
In term 5, our Geography based theme will be 'People All Over the World'. This will give us the opportunity to make comparisons between where we live and Tobago. We will develop our skills of using an atlas to find locations and plot these on our own maps. We will then look at the human and physical features of Tobago and Swanley, thinking about where we would most like to live and give reasons for our ideas.
To begin this term, we will have a Stunning Start afternoon, where we will have the opportunity to try a range of foods from Tobago. We will make our own Jerk Chicken and have a food tasting afternoon.
To end our term, our Fab Finish will involve persuasive writing. We will design and create our own travel brochure to advertise how amazing Tobago is and persuade other people just much they should visit this beautiful country on their next holiday.
