What’s happening this term?

We have an exciting and busy term ahead! Here’s what we’ll be learning:
Our main topic will be looking back in time to the Tudor period.
In English, we’ll be reading the novel The Extraordinary Colours of Auden Dare by Zillah Bethell.  Our writing this term will include persuasive texts and recounts.
In Maths, we’ll focus on measuring, converting units, number review and problem solving.  Times tables will remain a focus as we progress through our class chart.
Our Science learning begins with studying The Art of Living Things.  We’re also looking forward to welcoming the Darwin Centre for some hands-on science workshops!
In Welsh, we’ll be talking about ourselves in the past and present tenses.  We will also be using Meistroli and competing against other schools in the county.
ICT and e-safety will remain a key focus this term as we continue to develop our DCF portfolios.
Additionally, we are looking forward to learning about Humanism, regular beach visits with our 4k digital cameras, a camp out and paddleboarding sessions.
We are looking forward to a term full of learning, discovery, and memorable experiences!
