English: Anglo-Saxon Boy
This term our English text is ‘Anglo-Saxon Boy'. This text will develop our descriptive language in our own writing and we will infer a range of characters’ thoughts and feelings. We will be writing exciting narrative stories, newspaper reports, diary entries and poems. This text will encourage many skills and our imagination.
Maths: Time, Shape and Position & Direction
In Maths, we will start the term with a week focusing on time, converting from a analogue to digital clock. Then, we will be spending some time looking into the properties of shape which will include identifying the different types of angles and comparing them. We will then look at statistics including different methods of presenting data. We will explore how to position and direction on a coordinate grid.
Theme: Vikings and Anglo-Saxons
This term we will be learning about the ‘Vikings’. We will be exploring where the Vikings came from, where they settled and what their villages looked like. We will explore how Vikings affected life in Britain and explore a range of Viking artefacts.
Science: All Living Things
We will be continuing the topic ‘All Living Things’. We will be exploring our local area to identify and classify different animal and plant species. We will investigate how when environments change, they can pose a risk to wildlife and find out how we as humans can limit this - making our own bug-friendly hotel in the process!
