English
Our class text is Who Let the Gods Out? by Maz Evans. We will use this text to develop our reading skills and as inspiration for our writing lessons. We will learn to write a narrative based on the story and we will also learn to write a balanced argument about detentions, based on the main character, Elliot, who has to endure an after-school detention with his nemisis, Mr Boil!
Maths
In maths, we will be developing our place value, addition and subtraction skills, working with numbers up to 1,000,000.
Foundation
Science
In science, the first topic is ‘animals including humans’.
French
In French, we will be creating our own French monster pets!
History
In history, we will be learning about Roman Britain and developing our understanding about the impact that the Romans made on the history of our country.

After that, we will learn about a new artist: Rousseau. We will explore different painting techniques, using Russeau as our inspiration.

Our key question in RE is ‘What does it mean if Christians believe God is holy and loving?’
We will explore how Christians maintain a relationship with God.
