Term 4
Welcome back to term 4 – we hope your children had an excellent and restful half term.
This term, our main topic will be about trade in Geography. The unit will involve information about the history of Bristol trade, international imports and exports and economy. Alongside this, we will be doing some art work based on collage, looking at the artist Elizabeth St Hillaire and covering evolution and inheritance in Science. We will also be discussing ‘What Jesus did to save human beings?’ in our RE and ‘Living in the wider world’ in PSHE.
Our English focus this term will be based on discussions, explanations and newspaper reports. We will continue to read our class book ‘Journey to the River Sea’ alongside this as a class. In Maths, we will begin the term measuring and drawing angles and looking at converting measurements. After, we will cover time, algebra, statistics and ratio and proportion.
On a Thursday morning this term, we will be splitting Year 5 and 6 for their Maths and English lessons so they can embed some of their learning from this year. As well as this, as mentioned on Parentmail, Year 6 children can join after school for ‘SATs booster sessions’ on Monday or Wednesday after school to support their learning further.
The children will continue to have French lessons every Wednesday morning with Mrs Allenby. On Thursday, they will cover PE and Music or Computing in PPA. They will, therefore, need to wear their PE kit on Thursday each week. They will also have a second PE lesson taught by their class teacher. This will be on a Monday for Guppy, Brunel and Campbell and on a Wednesday for Cabot and Muller. Please refer to the uniform policy as we expect uniforms to be in line with this and children will be told if this is not the case. Children should only wear PE kits on these days above.
We hope your children enjoy their new topics and have a fantastic term!
