As our 'WOW' introduction to our new book this term 'Survivors', some of us were brave enough to try eating some insects, including crickets, locusts and mealworms. Do you think you would eat bugs if your survival depended on it?!

Term 3:

Term 3 is going to be another fantastic term. In History, the children will be researching the question ‘What did the Greeks ever do for us?’. The children were dive into the Greek world, learning about Greek beliefs, how ancient Greece was governed and how Greek philosophers influence us today. In Science, we will be following Darwin’s footsteps; learning about natural selection, adaptation, inheritance and evolution. In Art, we will be looking at architecture and observational drawings. Linking to Art, Design and Technology will be creating structures and bridges. For English, the children will be reading the non-fiction text, ‘Survivors’ and creating a journalistic piece of writing. In Maths, the children will be continuing with multiplication and division, fractions, decimals, area/perimeter/volume and percentages.

Term 2:

This is going to be another fantastic term. In Science, we will continue to be exploring the different types of forces and using our knowledge to conduct more experiments. The children will be looking at levers, pulleys and gears; creating a wind powered pulley system to lift a paper cup. Our English lessons feature the wonderful story ‘The Explorers’ by Katherine Rundell. Our genre of writing will be a journey narrative. For Art, children are using mixed media to create self-portraits. In Geography this term, we are exploring the question ‘Why does population change?’. DT is exciting this term! The children are going to be designing and creating their own pop-up books, aimed at year 1 children!

Term 1:

Welcome back to all the children in Merlin class. This is the first term of a fantastic and busy year! The children will be learning all about Vikings, during our history lessons, focusing on the topic question ‘Were the Vikings raiders, traders or something else?’ Over the next 2 terms, our science focus will be ‘forces and magnets’.

During the third week, the year 6’s will be away on their residential for a week and the year 5’s will take part in a project.

Our book this term will be ‘The Viking Boy’, linking to our history topic. The final write will be an informal letter. We will focus on the grammar features of brackets, colons and semi-colons.

Our maths this term will be around the place value of numbers up to 10,000,000.

Towards the end of term 1, we are looking forward to attending the Bath Literacy Festival, to see the author Katherine Rundell!
