Our ValuesRespect yourself |
 |
History -Discovery and Legacy |
| In History, we will be researching different ancient civilisations such as Ancient Sumer; The Indus Valley; Ancient Egypt and The Shang Dynasty of Ancient China. We will be looking at their features and important characteristics which make them unique. We will be looking at differences and similarities, as well as questioning why their locations are near rivers. Then, we will have an in-depth look into Ancient Egypt, looking at irrigation, language, medicine and pharaohs. |
English
|
| Our writing focus in Spring 2 will be based on the book The Egyptian Cinderella.
We will be completing short writing activities around this book to support a longer piece of writing to retell the story using a ‘plan, write and edit’ sequence of lessons. We will also be giving the children to create their own stories in our creative writing unit. We will choose some scenarios that we have picked up from the children’s ideas and support them in writing their own stories. |
Maths
|
| In Mathematics, we will be investigating multiplication and division focusing on methods to multiply and divide 2 digit and 1 digit numbers. We will be moving onto fractions focusing on unit and non unit fractions, fractions on a number line, ordering fractions and equivalent fractions. We will also continue with learning the times tables – 2,5,10,3,4 and 8. |
Science
|
| This half term we will be learning about plants. We will be learning about and sketching common British plants and trees. Our experiments will include investigating how water travels through the plant and what the requirements are for a plant to grow and be healthy. Both of these investigations will involve making observations over time and recording the results. We will also be learning about the life cycle of flowering plants and methods of seed dispersal. |

We will be organising lots of fun activities linked to the Rights of the child. The council will write to you in the next few weeks to share more information. This half term we will also be celebrating World Book Day, International Women’s Day and World Water Day. In March, we will take part in the ‘Great British Spring Clean’. Our school charter: Article 2- The convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.
