Autumn term

English

In English, we will begin by developing our reading skills and getting ourselves inspired by studying excerpts from ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls,’ and enhancing our writing skills by exploring the beautiful story of ‘The Queen of the Falls’ by Chris Van Allsburg. We will learn about Annie Adson Taylor’s remarkable feat in 1901, and use a variety of new vocabulary when writing our own diary entries, descriptions and letters based on this key text. We will be focussing on learning and using specific grammar skills, including fronted adverbials, to write in role as the famous daredevil, Annie Edson Taylor.

Maths

In Maths, we will begin by looking at place value in increasingly larger numbers, and will be reading, writing, comparing and ordering these to demonstrate our understanding of place value. We will explore powers of 10 and how we can calculate more or less in steps of 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000. We will then move onto rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000. Then, we will move onto refining our formal and mental methods for addition and subtraction.

To embed our understanding of newly taught maths skills this half term, we have taken part in active maths lessons!

Science

This term, we will be learning about properties and changes to materials including comparing and grouping, solutions, separating mixtures by filtering, sieving and mixing and reversible and irreversible changes. 

Topic

This term, we our foundation subject topics will include History, Music, Spanish, Computing, Art & Design, RE, PSHE and PE. 

History

This term, we will be exploring how Stevenage has changed over time and investigating what it would have been like after the Norman Conquest in 1066. We will be revisiting our chronological knowledge of British History. We will access sources of historical evidence and learn how historians use these to provide information about the past, while developing our knowledge of what life would have been like for peasants and nobles living during this time. Here, we worked with our peers to create a timeline of Historical events.
