Term 3

The focus of our learning this term, is around the exciting story of 'The Adventures of Odysseus' which is based on Homer's Odyssey. 

In our writing lessons, we are excited to be developing our character description skills by using figurative language to describe Medusa. Once the children have written their description, we will be using AI to generate an image based on the children's writing. We will be spending the term learning about different Greek myths before writing our own! 

In maths this term, the children with be developing their understanding of equivalent fractions and decimals before learning about percentages. The final few weeks of term will focus on area and perimeter. 

Throughout our learning this term, we will focus our history learning of 'Ancient Greece' by looking at the the Greek's way of life and key figures from the era.

In RE we focus on 'Salvation' and how Christian's can learn from Jesus' sacrifice.. Our theme in PSHE is 'Healthy Me'; in music will be learning to sing and play 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' and science will be continuing our learning about 'Properties and Changes of Materials.'

Our PE days are Tuesday (Squash), Wednesday(Hockey) and Thursday (Tag Rugby) for this term.
