Autumn Term

In English, we will be continuing Talk for Writing learning fiction and non-fiction texts. We will be story mapping the model texts, looking at the features and tools used and exploring how to use these independently. After we have understood the tools that have been used in the model text, we will have a go at creating an example together before writing our own version independently.

In Maths, we will primarily focus on place value, addition and subtraction during the Autumn Term. We will then be moving on to Multiplication before Christmas.

Our History topic for this term is “Who were the Heymann’s?” and we will find out all about who our school is named after and the history behind the Heymann family and their link to the lace industry in Nottingham. In Geography, our topic is All Around the World, where we will be looking at the longitudinal and latitudinal lines throughout the world, including the Equator, Tropics + the Arctic Circle.

In Science, we will kick off the year with Rocks, where we look at the 3 different ways that rock is formed and how rocks can be classified. In Autumn 2, we will be moving onto forces, exploring gravity, friction and pushes/pulls.

ICT will cover digital photographs, where we will focus on the rule of thirds and framing subjects. We will also be using the program Puppet Pals, where the children will retell a story using the software. In R.E, we will focus on Hindu Worship and in Spanish, we will be learning how to introduce ourselves, learn the days of the week and months of the year

P.E will be every Monday and Wednesday where the children will participate in Fundamental Movement Skills, Tri-Golf, Gymnastics and Tennis. Please ensure that your children come in their PE kits on these days. They should be dressed in suitable clothing with an appropriate colour top that matches their house team and not a football top or similar.

Please see the Overview attached below to see a more detailed breakdown of topics we are covering in each subject!
