Motivational Stimulus:
Areas of Learning
As writers we will improve our understanding and application of
punctuation, spelling, handwriting and grammar. We will explore
narratives, in particular myths and legends in the first half term
and discursive/persuasive texts in the second half. We will
produce our own legend/myth and discussion text.
As readers we will be reading to study and for pleasure.
As linguists we will gain confidence to speak with good intonation
and pronunciation.
As mathematicians we focus on number and place value, as well as
measure and shape.
In RE we will be learning about Easter, Pentecost and Sacraments.
As scientists we will be planning a scientific enquiry, recording data
and drawing conclusions from our results.
As historians we will seek out and analyse a wide range of evidence
in order to justify claims about the past.
As computer programmers we will be using the programming
software, Scratch.
As dancers we will use range of dance moves from different times
to create our own dances.
As sports people we will practise and improve games skills and apply
these in team work. We will create complex and well executed
sequences which include travelling and balance.
As art historians we will become familiar with the great portrait
artists of the time. We will study them in detail to discover the
stories behind the portraits.
As artists we will learn from the artists we have studied and use
this knowledge to create our own ‘Talking portraits’.
