War and Conflict
Our first project of the year is based on the book and film, ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’ and we will be developing our key skills in various subjects through the context of the World Wars

In English, we will analyse and learn narrative writing skills such as description, suspense, flashbacks and the difference between Standard English and dialect. We will also learn how to structure letters and imagine we are a soldier writing to our family from the trenches. During Design and Technology lessons, we will also study instructions and recipes.

Golden Assembly looks a little different this year too!!

Congratulations to our class councillors for 2020-2021

We created these amazing covers for our theme books using colour mixing skills, and silhouettes.
Weekly Homework

Homework will usually be set each Tuesday. Please encourage your child to check that they understand the homework before the weekend; this will give them time to ask their teacher for help. Homework Club takes place on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes, so your child can make a start on their homework with the help of their teachers if needed. Please remind your child that their homework must be handed in each Tuesday morning. Finally, your child will receive three ‘war medals’ for their WW2 Team if they read more than four times a week, and complete their weekly homework, so don’t forget to sign their Reading Record.

It is SO important to try to have a Growth Mindset, if you want to be a Gold Learning Warrior!

How long will it take for everyone to get on the awesome board??

We have PE lessons on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please make sure your child comes to school in the correct clothing that includes a warm jacket, and jogging or tracksuit trousers.
Where possible we will try to continue to have PE lessons, even if the weather is not on our side.

ESCAPE FROM POMPEII ( Extreme Earth )

Upper School Spring Term Project 2021

This term, children will be learning about the infamous eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its effects on the Roman town of Pompeii. This project combines learning of History and Geography. We will learn about the Founding of Rome, life during this period and Boudicca’s Rebellion. We will develop our map reading skills and World Geography knowledge as we trace the growth of the Roman Empire. We will also develop our understanding of British, human and physical geography by learning about Roman roads and their importance for transport, trade and defence. Further geographical learning will come from our studies of different natural disasters, how and where they occur, including volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts and hurricanes.
Children will develop their Science skills by learning about forces such as gravity, air resistance, water resistance and friction, all of which play important and dangerous parts in natural disasters on our planet. They will also be learning about properties of materials by imagining that they are Romans who need weapons, shields, armour and building materials. We will explore magnetism, malleability, flexibility, conductivity and transparency.
When natural disasters occur, aid from around the world is urgent and we will learn about the work of the British Red Cross charity. As one of the Queen’s charities, the British Red Cross benefited from the fundraising of the song ‘Sing’ by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band. During Music lessons, children will learn to play this song on the keyboard by reading musical notation on the bass and treble clef.
In Art, children will explore and recreate Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ using a variety of different artistic techniques such as line drawing, shading, collage and layering. They will experiment with different materials (poster paint, pastels, crayon, pencil) to create a range of effects and use these in a completed piece of work. In learning about a great artist and his work, we will be exploring how to draw familiar objects with correct proportions and with three dimensions.
During Literacy, pupils will continue to develop their key writing skills through various genres, including newspapers, information texts and narratives, all based around the theme of Pompeii


Themed Learning 
In Geography we have learned about our planet's extreme weather and natural disasters. We have discovered all about hurricanes, Tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes. In English we have re-told the incredible story of the Italian town of Pompeii, and the disastrous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD

Science
We have been learning how forces have an influence on events on planet Earth. We created our own volcano eruption to see gravity pull the lava down the sides of the mountain and towards the sea. 

Design & Technology
We built a replica model of the town of Pompeii. We used our research skills to make sure our house and villa models were historically correct, and we used our joining skills to construct sturdy buildings.
