Term 5
Curriculum overview
We are looking forward to welcoming Ruby class back for the first summer term. We are looking forward to warmer weather.
Curriculum overview
Our topic this term is 'Weather & Climate'.
Our topic will have a science and geography theme, where we explore seasons, weather and climate change. During our topic we will look at renewable energy sources and investigate the best colour for solar panels to be. We will also do some DT, which will include researching, designing, making and evaluating windmills of our own.
Our books for the term are 'Varmints' by Helen Ward and Marc Craste & 'The Boy in the Tower' by Polly Ho-Yen. As part of our learning, we will be exploring the non-fiction genre of instructions.
Our topics for maths will be division, weight and statistics.
In PHSE, we will be looking at the Jigsaw topic 'Relationships'.
Once a week in Ruby class we practice life skills by cooking on a Tuesday and going on road safety walks on a Wednesday. We will also be learning netball skills in PE.
On Thursday's we hope to spend more time outside during Outdoor Learning, fingers crossed for some warmer and drier weather.
