Spring term 2 2020
Welcome back to the second half of the spring term. Read on to find out what we will be up to.
RWI
In our RWI lessons, pupils will continue to be grouped by their reading level. Phonics, speaking and listening, reading and writing are all taught within the programme.
Maths
We will start the half term with measurement, choosing the appropriate standard units and equipment to measure length and mass of objects. We will move onto addition and subtraction of two digit numbers and looking at fractions of a shape and amount. Finally we will be learning about position, direction and time.
Science
Our Science topic this half term is materials. We will be identifying and comparing the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for particular uses and finding out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.
History
In History we will be learning about the lives of significant people in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements. We will learn about Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, their lives, their achievements and how this has impacted on our lives.
DT
In DT, we will be designing and making a moon buggy. We will explore how existing vehicles move and will learn different ways of making a vehicle move using a chassis, wheels and axles. We will design our own moving moon buggy, make it and evaluate our final product.
RE
Our RE unit this half term is Easter: How do symbols help us to understand the story. Key questions include, why is Easter the most important festival in the Christian calendar? and why has this symbol been chosen to represent that?
