Autumn 1

This Half Term

The key text we will be focusing on this Half Term is 'Oliver' by Charles Dickens 

This is providing the base for learning across a few of our subjects. It will be inspiring our writing within our English lessons, we shall also be picking the text apart in our Reading sessions and discussing the different comprehension components as well as why the author has chosen to write the text in the way he has and the impact that it has on the story.

Our History topic is based around on the Victorians; looking at how the Victorians have influenced today through the Industrial Revolution and the influential people from that time.

In Science, we will be looking at electricity by making circuits and whether they are complete or incomplete. We will also be looking at materials that are conductors and insulators.

In Computing, we are going to be  programming using Scratch to create an algorithm to make a sprite move.

In Art, we are developing our drawing skills by using shade and texture.. We will look at the artist Paul Cezanne . We will discuss his key pieces of art and his techniques. 

In French we are looking at 'Numbers to 20' and learning to say, read and write them.
