How can I be a healthier me?

Science -

We will recap the main functions of the human skeleton then, learn the names of some of the main bones and major organs. We will learn what we need to keep our bodies healthy, looking at what each food group is important for. We will consider how an active lifestyle contributes to good health and also look at how to help our mental health.

Geography -

We will be learning about the United Kingdom. We will understand the difference between a country, a region and a county and be able to name ones important to us. We will use atlases to locate regions and counties. We will then look at topography to identify mountains and rivers which are important in the United Kingdom.

History -

Our one history lesson for this half term will focus on recapping important changes of the Stone Age. We will work together to present the main points for aspects such as homes, food and tools, choosing how we think will be the best way to showcase our work.

D.T. -

We will first taste a variety of different breads and evaluate them. We will design our own bread roll, considering different flavours and designs. We will follow a recipe to make our bread and then evaluate our success.

Art -

Our one art lesson will focus on producing cave paintings using charcoal.

P.E -

This half term we will be taking part in wheel chair sports to experience a variety of games on wheels!

Music -

After completing our Ukulele sessions and performing in our concert, we will then use Churanga for our music sessions.

Spring 1.

Could we survive in the Stone Age?

History- We will explore all aspects of the Stone Age. We will create a time line of events, look at shelters, think about how artefacts help us understand history and look at how the Stone Age moved into the Iron and Bronze age.

DT – We will create a Stone Age shelter. We will learn how to join materials, design and test ideas and then evaluate how successful our shelter is.

Art – We will create a Stone Age cave painting using charcoal and chalk, inspired by what we have studied.

Science- We will learn about sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. We will observe and classify rocks and learn how fossils and soils are made.

Geography – We will use maps and atlases to be able to locate and name countries within the United Kingdom.

Music – In music we will continue to learn how to play the Ukulele.

We will explore forces and magnets, investigating which materials are attracted to magnets and why. We will explore the strength of different types of magnets and make and test predictions to various scientific questions. We will explore the force of friction to understand what this means. We will test various surfaces after making predictions and record our results.
