PHSCE and RE Value: Kindness & Self-control
We will look at the Hindu and Christian faiths to ask questions about how a person’s beliefs can affect their behaviour, values and practices. We will also explore the deep philosophical meaning of commitment, purpose and truth.
PE With the promise of finer weather we hope to be spending more time in the sunshine working on our Athletic fitness and skills and developing our abilities in wall and net games including tennis, netball and football.
Topic work The title above, in red, relates to an aspect of the National Curriculum concerned with changes in an aspect of social history: Leisure and entertainment in the 20th Century. We will be looking back at the decades of the 20th century from the end of the Victorian era through the Roaring 20s, Depressed 30s, Wartime 40s, Post-War 50s, Swinging 60s, Swirling 70s, Neon 80s, Technological 90s and finally into the Noughties. We will be looking specifically at:
• Sounds – music and singers • Sights – movies and theatre, fashion and art • Stories – travel and holidays, childhood and toys, technological advances
Ms Nisbett will be teaching Latin on Monday afternoons, Mr Campbell will teach Music on a Tuesday morning. Ms Stephens will be teaching on Fridays, which will include Computing, one of the PE lessons and Science.
Numeracy We will continue to work intensively on our arithmetic and calculation skills across all four operations. In addition we will work on:
• Fractions and decimals • Squared and cubed numbers • Measuring volume and capacity, converting between units of measure • Facts and properties of shapes • Roman numerals • Statistics and data
We will apply all of the above in our weekly problem solving lessons. In addition, children will be learning and tested on all the times tables throughout the week and it will be a key focus of our early morning work before registration.
