(N.B. Sept 2020: not currently updated - arrangements to be confirmed if/when needed)Summer term i
We are learning about lots of different topics:- English this half term includes a mixture of texts and inspirations. We will learn about many different aspects of fiction and non-fiction. This includes shape poems, instructions and sci-fi writing.
- Our topic and science this half term is called 'Cosmic Capers' and is all about space, focusing on the Sun and Moon. We will learn about the space race, why we have day and night, why the Moon appears to change shape in the sky...
- This half term in art/DT we are learning about Vincent van Gogh and linking our work to our topic/science.
- We are going to have some Zoom lessons from the Norfolk Music Hub all about different aspects of music theory this half term. This is a great chance to see new faces and learn from music specialists. We've never done this before - I'm sure you'll hear all about it!
- In RE, we are asking the questions 'What is philosophy?' and 'How do people make moral decisions?'. For this, we will consider both Christian and Humanist views.
- We are learning French this year - Bonjour! Across the year we are gaining a solid grounding in the basics, with Year 3 learning the language for the first time. Year 4 will refresh the vocabulary learnt last year whilst learning the next steps also.
- In Computing, Key Stage 2 will explore different programming platforms: Lightbot (http://lightbot.com/flash.html), Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/), Kodu (http://www.kodugamelab.com/) and Blockly (https://blockly-games.appspot.com/). Over the year we also extend our learning about Microsoft Office, computer safety and any other coding that we discover along the way! We have also learnt how to navigate Google Classroom and now have a good amount of experience with this!
