Our unit of work for Spring 2 is a geography unit called Wild Weather. In this unit, we will learn about the reasons we have different types of wild weather by comparing and contrasting different geographical physical features in a European country and in North and South America. We will also compare and contrast human features using terrestrial, aerial and satellite photographs. We will also learn the 8 compass points. Finally, we will create our very own town that will be able to withstand wild weather because of its physical and human features. 

English: 

Our English genres will relate to our quality text, King of the Cloud Forest by Michael Morpurgo. We will be learning how to write diary entries and will also be focussing on fables and clerihews!

Love to Read:

King of the Cloud Forest by Michael Morpurgo.

Maths:

We will begin the term looking at statistics. As well as consolidating our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this half term we will be focusing on developing the children's knowledge in fractions, length and perimeter.

Science:

We will be looking more into forces and magnets.

We will then move onto 'Animals including Humans'.

As part of this unit, we will group and classify different foods into the five food groups and identify the nutrients contained in different foods.

We will then link this to the human body and identify the main bones in the human skeleton.

We will also create a model of the elbow joint and explain how it works and moves!

RE:

'Why do Christians call the day Jesus died Good Friday?'

During this unit, we will order Creation and Fall, Incarnation, Gospel and
Salvation within a timeline of the Bible’s ‘big story’.

We will also offer suggestions for what the texts about the entry into Jerusalem, and the death and resurrection of Jesus might mean.

We will give examples of what the texts studied mean to some Christians and make simple links between the Gospel texts and how Christians mark the Easter events in their church communities.

We will describe how Christians show their beliefs about Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday in worship.

Finally, we will make links between some of the stories and teachings in the Bible and life in the world today, expressing some ideas of our own. 

PE: 

Outdoor PE will be orienteering this half term and indoor PE will be Dodgeball. Our PE days this term are Mondays and Thursdays. 3B will also be participating in Forest School on Wednesday afternoons.

MFL:

We will be learning French as our modern foreign language with a focus on 'family and friends'.

British Value focus:
