Learning

Rocks, Relics and Rumbles

In this topic, children will dive into the depths of the Earth and explore the layers beneath us. There will be a heavy focus on volcanoes, their features and how they are formed. Children will look at significant volcanoes around the world, learning which ones are active and which ones are dormant. Later on in our topic, we will travel to the ancient city on Pompeii and discover the effects of the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. We will also be exploring the causes and effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. 

Science - Forces and Magnets

In our new science topic, children will learn about what forces are and the different types of forces that we use daily, including contact, non-contact and frictional forces. Children will learn how forces are measured by force meters and use them to investigate the force we use on objects around the classroom. After that, we will be exploring the world of magnets and learning about attraction and repulsion. We will explore magnetic fields and conduct investigations using different types of magnets.

PE Kit

 

PE kits consists of a white top, dark shorts/skirt, pumps/trainers, dark jumper and dark jogging bottoms, not leggings. Please ensure that your child has a comfortable spare pair of shoes for outdoor PE (as their others may be muddy or wet from being outside). If your child has their ears pierced, please provide tape or ensure they can remove their own earrings. Pupils should come to school wearing their PE kit on PE days. 

 

Our PE Days are Thursday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor).

Art - Ammonites and People and Places
In our first art topic, Ammonites, children will discover the ancient fossils and build on their sketching skills by recreating an annomite in their art books. Children will then create a motif of an annomite and place an imprint of this on tiles, using coloured ink to create a print of their motif in their books.
 
Moving onto People and Places, children will learn about the magnificent artwork of LS Lowry and explore the style of artwork he created. Children will look at urban landscapes and create a collage using different medias, and also draw human figures in simple form, and in more detail.
