Term 5

For our final term, we will be centering our learning around our class test, 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. 

In our Writing lessons, we will be focusing on our persuasive techniques to write a letter and a brochure about Camp Green Lake. Later on in the term, we will focus on fiction by reading stories from different cultures and finishing with poems with a structure. 

In Maths this term, we start with adding and subtracting decimals with the same and different decimals places. We then move on to negative numbers, converting units of measure and calculating volume. 

Throughout our learning this term, we will focus our Geography learning around the topic of Deserts. The children will be able to locate deserts on a map, identify features of a desert and analysing what life is like in a desert. Our art links to our Geography topic where we will be studying various artists, who have a link to deserts. The children will choose their inspiration and at the end of the term, create a piece of artwork inspired by the topic and artists. 

In RE, our question is, 'Is it better to express your religion in arts and architecture or in charity and generosity?​ Our theme in PSHE is 'Changing Me'; in music will be a review of the different songs we have learned throughout the year. and Science will be learning about Animals, including Humans. Our Computing is Physical Computing where the children will use Crumble kits to code. 

Our PE days are Tuesdays (Athletics) and Thursdays (Personal Challenges).
