What We Are Learning About - Spring 1  

“I therefore…beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.”   Ephesians 4;1

Religion

Our current topic in Religion is  “The Bible”, we will examine what the bible is and delve deeper into the teachings and scripture of the Bible. As always we will examine the meaning behind scripture and apply it to our lives, discussing what it means to us in today's world. Our weekly Class Liturgy will be led by the children.

Maths

We begin the term focusing on use of and conversion of ratio. The children will continue to improve their knowledge of arithmetic through our daily “ Super 6” questions. We will then move onto  algebra and properties of shape.  We will use this knowledge and apply it to a variety of question styles, concentrating first on fluency and then progressing on to reasoning and problem solving questions. As always we promote oracy in this subject and the children will be using this skill to explain to their peers, how and why they have used methods, ultimately furthering and imbedding their learning.
