Learning This Term
Within Science this term we are learning about the seasons and how the weather changes with each season. Within Geography we are reinforcing this knowledge by looking at weather across the United Kingdom, considering how weather varies in each country in the U.K and how weather affects our activities and our jobs. Within Art we are learning how to mix secondary colours from primary colours and studying the artists Jasper Johns and Clarice Cliff. We will be evaluating the art made by these artists and developing our own skills of creating pattern, colours, shade and tone. Within R.E we will be learning about churches, Harvest and Christmas. Our computing learning will cover digital printing and the parts of a computer After half term we will begin our History topic in which we will be answering the question ‘How has our local high street changed?’ In D.T we will be making a moving story book with a Christmas theme using the sliding mechanism. We will be learning lots and having lots of fun along the way!
