   Spring Term Curriculum - History focus

Our theme question this term:  What makes somewhere home?        

We have a history focus this term and are learning about migration throughout history. This includes discussions about why people migrate, attitudes towards migration and how migrants contribute to the countries they settle in.

In RE lessons, we will be discussing if it is better to express your beliefs in art and architecture or through charity and generosity.     

In Science lessons with Mrs Barker, we will be learning about electricity.    

We are studying several fantastic books this term, including:

We will use these as the starting point for writing a variety of pieces, including poetry, letters, newspaper reports, and stories. We will also be using our residential visit to Arete to write some persuasive brochures. 

In maths, our focus this term is on ratio, algebra, decimals, fractions, percentages, area, perimeter and volume.   

Please make sure you are reading as often as you can and talking about what you are reading. Our school expectation is that reading at home is completed at least 3 times a week. Click here for more some reading suggestions.
