Geography - Coasts and Rivers 

PSHE

We will begin our PSHE lessons by identifying the skills and attributes needed to be an effective learner. We will then recognise and learn how to celebrate our achievements. We will then move onto our topic of mental health and emotional wellbeing - dealing with feelings. We will start by learning about a wide range of emotions and how these can affect our bodies. We will then explore loss, grief and bereavement.  Finally, we will move onto our online safety topic - CSE and abuse. 

English

To start with, we will concentrate on instructions linked to pancake day. We will study the features and then write our own set of instructions. We will then focus on personification poetry linked to our geography topic, magnificent mountains. After this, we will complete a setting description linked to our shared text, Stig of the Dump by Clive King. Next, we will complete a report about the missing property linked to our shared text. Finally, we will complete some writing activities around Easter. 

Maths

At the beginning of the half term in maths we will be focusing on decimals and percentages. We will practise converting fractions to decimals and percentages, rounding decimals and representing decimals in different ways. After this, we will move onto perimeter, area and volume. We will measure the perimeter of different shapes and find the area. 

Science

In science this half term we will be continuing to learn about the earth and space. We will explore night and day, learn about famous scientists and explore Tim Peake’s space voyage.

Geography  

During Geography, we will begin our topic of coasts and rivers by revisiting the water cycle, recalling the key processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection, and exploring how water moves around our planet. We will then develop our understanding of what a river is, learning about its features and the journey it takes from its source to its mouth. After this, we will locate some of the major rivers of the world using maps and atlases, building our geographical knowledge and map-reading skills. To conclude the topic, we will examine the impact of pollution on rivers, considering how human activity affects waterways and discussing ways we can help protect these important natural environments.

RE

This half term we will be focusing on Christianity and answering the key question; what is the significance of Easter, Ascension and Pentecost? 

Alongside all of this brilliant learning we will also be developing our skills through art, DT, PE, food technology and computing. For more information please see the long-term plan (LTP) and twitter for daily updates.
