.
During this half term, we will be using Microsoft PowerPoint to create a slideshow about African animals and on the school’s new iPads we will be taking photos of ourselves! We will also learn how to access our FROGOS accounts on the iPads – a skill that the children can hopefully apply at home! To develop the children’s computational thinking, they will recap what an algorithm is (a set of instructions) and create, write, test and debug algorithms for the Beebots .
For the historical element of our
topic, we will Study the life of Nelson Mandela and learn about
his national and international achievements.
In Art this half term, the focus will be on drawing
skills as the children learn to draw an African
animal. In order to do this, they will develop their
skills in naming and draw lines and
marks; observing and drawing shapes; showing
texture through line and varying tone. Within
Design & Technology we are going to design
models of African animals, make them using
mouldable materials such as plasticine and
PlayDoh and evaluate their models by seeing if
other pupils can guess what animals they have
made.
In PE this half term, the children will be
playing invasion games. The children
will participate in team games such as
tennis and rounders. Over the half term
children will develop their skills and
accuracy when hitting or throwing
different size balls. They will also begin
to look at how to defend and attack
whilst working as a team.
Our topic for the Summer Term is ‘Go
Wild!’ In the first half term we are focusing on Africa. The children will be
able to locate the continent and its surrounding seas on a world map,
atlas and globe. Classes will be introduced to the varying climates,
landscapes and environments in Africa but we fill focus on the dry and rainy seasons of the Savannah. This will be compared to the seasons in the UK
and also to the North Pole, which we learnt about back in November!
Through looking at photographs of life in the Savannah and developing these through role play, classes will see how African life is different to our lives in Derby and in the meanwhile, learn a
few words of Swahili!
Over this half term we will be looking at the SEAL topic – Relationships. The children will be focusing on feelings and emotions through this topic. Learning to recognise different emotions they may feel and learning how to deal with them appropriately.
This term the children will continue to use their voices expressively and creatively by singing hymns on a weekly basis in class. The children will be composing some African music and watching some African drumming! Also, the children will be listening to and learning about the great composer, Mozart.
Social
We carry out peer assessment in all subjects. We create opportunities for each child’s voice and use democratic
systems within our classes.
Moral
We have a weekly Bible story reading as a key stage and talk about lessons to be
learned from the life of Jesus and other people in the Bible. Two members of each
class are part of the school council.
Spiritual
Our R.E curriculum allows children to explore their own and other beliefs and values and develop an awe and wonder.
Cultural
We will be looking at the life of Nelson Mandela and exploring how he has
affected culture today. We will also be listening to and appraising music from
Africa and by Mozart.
