Spring 1 Curriculum Information

Literacy - We are currently reading the book 'The Last Bear' by the author Hannah Gold. This book takes the children on a magical journey to The Arctic where they will enjoy an animal adventure story whilst learning about the effects of climate change on endangered species.

Maths - In Maths we are practising ratio and algebra which involves the children looking at the relationships between numbers and how we can use these mathematical skills in every day life.

Science -  Our Science topic this half term is Inheritance and Evolution. In this we are looking at fossils and how we use them to give us information about living things from millions of years ago as well as how humans, animals and plants have adapted over time.

Geography - Our big enquiry question this half term is 'Are humans destroying our planet?'. We will be answering this question throughout the coming weeks by focusing on how climate varies and how we as humans are affecting it. This links with our big idea this half term which is sustainability and environment.

Art - Our focus skill in Art is painting. We will explore a variety of artists including Archibold Motley and Abigail McDougall whilst building on the work we did in the Autumn on perspective drawing. 

P.E - This half term we will be practising skills for Gymnastics and Hockey through a range of activities and games with Mr Marsh.

Citizenship - In Citizenship we will be researching and discussing how religions and beliefs respond to the importance of the environment which links to our big idea this half term of sustainability and environment.

Computing - We are building on our prior computing knowledge this half term by looking at programming and eventually designing our own computer game!
