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

Throughout this term, we will be looking at the theme of “Prophecy and Promise.” The children will be exploring the life of King David, investigating the ways in which he fulfilled ancient prophecies to become the leader of his people. We will also be reflecting on the theme of God’s faithfulness, specifically focusing on how He kept His divine promise to guide and protect His people throughout their history. This unit provides a wonderful opportunity for the students to discuss the importance of trust, the qualities of a good leader, and the significance of keeping one's word.

English

This half term we will be beginning with some formal letter writing in the role of Sir Oswald from the book Wild Boy. The children will be using their RAFT to ensure the capture the voice of the character and write appropriately for their audience. We will be reading the book “Who let the God’s out?” and working on our reading skills to help develop a deeper understanding of the story. The children will then write their own chapter of the book, concentrating on how speech can convey character and move along the story.

Maths

We begin the term focusing on ratio, we then move onto scale factors and will finish the term with some work on shape. The children will continue to improve their knowledge of arithmetic through our daily “Super 6” questions. 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.
