We hope you have had a lovely Christmas break and are ready for the Spring Term.
In Science, we will be learning about properties and changes in materials, applying what we have learned to consider real life science and engineering challenges.
In English we will read a version of War of the Worlds, discovering some of the ways in which people have imagined extra-terrestrial life and working to develop our own vivid descriptions and story worlds. In Maths we will delve deeper into fractions, decimals and percentages and return to multiplication and division.
We will focus in our History lessons on city of York, learning how it changed over a period of 1600 years, and what the development of York can tell us about the changing nature of Britain more generally. In Geography, we will be concentrating on key geographical skills such as map reading.
In art, we will look at a range of landscapes and cityscapes before painting our own versions, and in DT will learn about mechanical systems.
Homework continues to be set on Mondays – the relevant page of the maths homework book for that week and the weekly assignment on Spelling Shed, as well as ongoing practicing of personal spelling lists. We would love to see lots of reading being done at home, and pupils can support their learning further through the use of Times Tables Rockstars and My Maths.
