Term 5 Connected Learning and Science

Our focus this term is: Great Explorers: Where in the world would you wander? Our Connected Learning will complement our English as we study influential explorers of the past and present such as: Alastair Humphreys, Ernest Shackleton, Ranulph Fiennes, Lucy Shepherd and many others!

In Science this term, our focus is Electricity. Children will be taught to:

associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit
compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches
use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram

Key Texts

Home Learning

Every Friday children will receive a piece of English and Maths homework to complete by the following Friday - it will always be what they have learnt that week and therefore should be able to be completed independently. We provide this homework so that children can consolidate their learning in the hopes this will enable them to retain the information/process for longer.

Spelling

Children will stick in their weekly spellings into their orange reading records ready to practise for the week. They are then tested on these spellings on a Friday morning.
