FANTASTIC homework coming soon!
WAR & CONFLICT
Upper School Autumn Term Project
During each project, the majority of lessons are purposefully linked to the projects in order to encourage children to make connections between aspects of their learning. Project Pages will be stuck into our homework books at the start of each project so that you can see what we will be learning about in each subject and how they link together.
Some lessons do not easily fit within a theme and so will be taught discretely. This term, our discrete subjects are PE and French. In PE, children will learn a range of throwing, jumping and running events, thereby improving their agility, control and ability to reflect and improve on their performance. They will also practise and apply their throwing, catching and tactical skills to competitive games of rounders.
In French, children will be learning to speak, listen, read and write an increasing number of sentence structures in French, as well as broadening their French vocabulary and understanding of French grammar. The context of the lessons will be talking about themselves, their appearance and their family, as well as fashion, actions and feelings.
World War Teams
This term children will work in World War-themed teams to earn ‘war medals’ for their allied country: France, Britain, Russia, America and China. They can earn ‘war medals’ by demonstrating our core values, following the Golden Rules and being the best learner they can be. Your child will also receive three ‘war medals’ if they read more than four times a week, and complete their weekly homework, so don’t forget to sign their Reading Record! At the end of the term, the team with the most ‘war medals’ will receive a special treat!
Parent Pupil Project
If you would like a project to work on with your child at home, your task is to make a World War 2 model plane! Parent-Pupil projects are optional and there is no set deadline for their completion. However, the earlier in the term they are made, the longer we have to enjoy them in the classroom!
