Maths
In Maths we will be learning about Place Value and about Addition and Subtraction.
Science
Our Science focus this term is Rocks and Fossils. We will be looking at fossils, finding out how they are made (using chocolate to represent rocks), learning about different types of rocks and their properties. We will also be investigating soil and learning what it is made from.
History
In History we will be learning all about The Stone Age. We will learn about the three stages; The Palaeolithic, The Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages, and understanding how life in Britain changed throughout this period. We will find out about key discoveries such as The Cheddar Man, The Red Lady of Paviland, Otsi the Iceman, and we will learn about the amazing sites of Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill, Starr Carr and Skara Brae.
Art
We will be learning about Palaeoart, thinking about the history of people imagining and drawing dinosaurs based on fossil discoveries. Chris Mould is our key artist this term .. We will be using his illustrations to learn more about cross-hatching, shading line, space and shape. Our final piece will be our own pencil dinosaur sketches.
Computing
Our focus for computing this term is Computing Systems and Networks - Connecting Computers.
