Term 4 Learning
This term our topic is 'Potions'. We will be exploring the three states of matter and identifying each of their properties in depth. We will look at the particles within materials, focusing on how they are arranged and how they move. This term, we will complete a range of scientific experiments including observing results, recording predictions and drawing conclusions.
We will use our topic of 'potions' to explore artwork, looking at the texture, subject matter and use of colour. This will also feed into some of our English learning. We will look at the story of Romeo and Juliet, identify the significance of the potion and move onto writing an alternative ending. During the second half of the term, we will be learning how to write stories. Using Aaron Becker's picture book 'Journey'. We will be used this as a base to write our own setting descriptions, problems, resolutions and endings.
In maths, Miss Shea's class will continue learning about fractions, focusing on identifying the numerator and denominator. We will identify the difference between unit fractions and non-unit fractions. We will use and apply our knowledge of fractions to solve mathematical problems. Towards the end of the term, we will be looking at length and perimeter.
Miss Adewale's class will also continue their learning on fractions. Towards the end of the term, they will move onto decimals, focusing on the value of each digit according to its position within the number.
