Summer Term Curriculum Overview

Maths - We will be continuing to follow Power Maths, a UK curriculum mastery programme, covering topics such as decimals, time, money and geometry. 

In addition, we will be dedicating lots of time to practising the Times Tables preparing for the Multiplication check coming up later on in the year.

English - This half term we will be reading 'My Name is River' by Emma Rea. This book links brilliantly to our running theme of 'Rainforests and Forests' this term. We will be looking at how to effectively describe a setting and learn to use figurative language, such as similes and personification, to amplify our writing.

Connected Curriculum - Our focus for the Summer term is Geography. We will use aerial photographs and fieldwork to draw maps that include symbols and keys to represent the human and physical features in these areas. In addition, children will gain an understanding about how features of rainforests affect how humans use these areas and the impact on them. 

Science - In the first half term, our topic is 'All Living Things' where we will study plants and animals in their habitat. 

PE - Children will have twice weekly PE sessions, taking part in a variety of sports such as rugby and athletics. 

RE - Children will begin the Summer Term continuing to learn about the religion of Islam. This will then be followed by the children learning about Sikhism. 

Computing - Children will learn about how to keep safe online and how to create a variety of documents using Microsoft tools. 

DT/Art - In DT this term, children will practise using levers and linkages to investigate how things move.
