Maths
This half term, children are revising key mathematical concepts in preparation for their SATs. We’re focusing on strengthening their confidence and accuracy across all areas of the curriculum.

English
In English, we are learning how to write a balanced argument. Children are developing their ability to present different viewpoints clearly, use persuasive language effectively, and structure their writing logically.

Reading
In Reading, we are exploring traditional Greek myths, learning about their characters, themes, and historical significance. We’re also beginning our exciting new class novel, Nevermoor, which will spark discussions around plot, setting, and character development.

Science
Our Science topic is Properties and Changes of Materials. Pupils explore how materials behave, their everyday uses, and how mixtures can be separated through methods like sieving, filtration, and evaporation. They also investigate reversible and irreversible changes, using experiments and observations to deepen their understanding.

History
In History, we’re exploring the fascinating world of the Ancient Greeks. The children are investigating the question: What influence has Ancient Greece had on us today? This includes learning about democracy, philosophy, architecture, and the Olympic Games.

Art
This term in Art, the children are studying Expressionism. They are learning how artists use colour, line, and form to express emotion, and will create their own expressive pieces inspired by this powerful art movement.

PE
In PE, we are focusing on Athletics. Children are developing their running, jumping, and throwing skills, as well as building stamina, speed, and teamwork through a range of athletic activities.

Religion and Worldview
In Religion and Worldview this half term, we will be looking at the key question ‘Why is the Torah so important for Jewish people?’

PSHE
In PSHE, we use the scheme Jigsaw. This half term, we will be focusing on the unit ‘Healthy Me!’
