Suggested Text and visit: / Old Bear by Jane Hissey
Pantomime trip to theatre
Visit to Honiton Square shops
As Writers we will take influence from the books Old Bear and Toys in Space. As well as taking inspiration from our pantomime trip to the theatre. / As writers we will write in different genres using the texts above. We will write in the following genres:
-Recount a trip to the theatre
-Letter writing
-Story writing
-Information texts
-Fact writing
-Lists and labels and captions
As Geographers we will focus on map work and fieldwork to understand the human and physical geographical features surrounding our school. / Use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:
-Key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop.
-Key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather.
-Use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of their school and its grounds and the key human and physical features of its surrounding environment.
-Use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features; devise a simple map; and use and construct basic symbols in a key.
- Use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West).
We will use basic map symbols to locate the human and physical geographical features surrounding our school on maps and aerial photographs.
We will learn and use simple compass directions.
As Historians we will study changes within living memory. / Children will study changes within living memory (post 1930s), revealing aspects of change within national life.
We will understand how toys have changed within living memory through secondary sources such as photographs, stories and memories gained from parents and grandparents, as well as reliable sources from the internet.
We will create a simple timeline showing how toys have changed over time.
We will understand when inventions and changes happened, revealing aspects of change within national life e.g. use of technology.
Using ICT we will learn about algorithms. / We will understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
We will create and debug simple programs and use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs.
The children will create their own algorithms and programme Bee-Bots using these algorithms.
As Artists we will focus on collage using mixed media. / We will use the artist Nancy Standlee as inspiration for our own collages of toys using a range of everyday materials.
-To use a range of materials creatively to design and make products.
-To use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination.
-To develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.
- We will learn about the work of a range of artists, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to our own work.
As Scientists we will focus on the everyday materials. / We will learn about what a material is and why certain materials are used according to their properties. We will carry out simple tests e.g. finding out which materials are waterproof and which are not.
-Children will learn to distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made.
-Identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock
-Describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials
-Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of their simple physical properties.
As Designers we will design and make our own simple toys from the past. / We will design and make our own simple toy from the past. This will allow us to understand how toys have changed within living memory.
Design- design a purposeful, functional and appealing product for themselves and other users based on design criteria.
Make- select and use a range of materials
Evaluate- explore and evaluate their product.
As Mathematicians we will:
• know and use numbers up to 40.
• add and subtract.
• recognise shapes and patterns.
• use measures.
• recognise and know the value of money. / See Singapore maths planning for further detail.
Thinking spiritually we will learn about Christianity and God. / “Why do Christians baptise their infants?”
We will learn about the importance of baptism for many Christians by understanding the meaning of belonging by putting it into the context of our own lives. We will also learn about the symbolism of the candle and the cross during baptism.
PE / Gymnastics -Using the space/ Balance/ Apparatus/ Towards and Away/ Slide, Push and Pull/ Some body Parts.
Basketball –Dribbling/ Passing/ Movement/SAQ/ Shooting/ Game Situations.
PSHE / Relationships
As linguists we will continue to learn Spanish. / We will learn numbers up to 20 in Spanish as well as having conversations about our age e.g. How old are you? I am…..
As musicians we will use the Charanga scheme, completing the unit ‘In The Groove’.
