In our English lessons, we are exploring Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg, the inspiring true story of Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Through this text, children will develop their narrative and persuasive writing skills, focusing on creating atmosphere, using rich vocabulary, & writing with impact.
In Maths, we shall be exploring roman numerals and place value as well as the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
In Science, we are investigating forces. Children will explore gravity, friction & air resistance through practical experiments. They will learn how forces affect movement, how mechanisms like levers, pulleys & gears work, & apply their understanding to real-life contexts.
In Geography, we are exploring the diverse continents of North & South America. Children will investigate physical features such as mountains, rivers & climate zones, as well as human aspects including population, trade & culture. They will develop map skills, compare regions & deepen their understanding of the similarities & differences across the Americas.
Our Art, we are learning about the life & work of Frida Kahlo. Children will explore her unique self-portraits, bold use of colour & symbolic style. They will experiment with techniques to create their own expressive portraits, developing skills in observation, sketching & painting while reflecting personal ideas through art.
In P.E., the children will cover attack v defence games with a focus on tag rubgy and netball
Kind regards
Mr Orford and Miss Ryder
