Our Topic

WW2

Our topic for the Autumn Term is World War 2.

As part of this topic we will be learning about the key events in World War 2, how the war started and ended and the main countries involved. We will be finding out which countries were axis and allied powers and the locations of significant events and battles. We will be learning about evacuation and finding out what life was like for a child during this time. We will also be looking at rationing and how this affected people, as well as designing our own World War 2 recipes. We will identify the impact of WW2 on Britain and how people on the Home Front contributed to the war effort. As part of this topic, we will also be looking at Goodnight Mr Tom and completing a range of activities based on this.

Our Science units this term are ‘Light’ and ‘Electricity’. As part of our light unit we will be finding out about how light travels and reflects off different surfaces. We will be discussing how this helps us to see objects and also explaining why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them. Within our electricity unit we will be identifying symbols and components of a circuit, identifying how the voltage of a circuit will affect the brightness of a lamp or volume of a buzzer and creating our own circuits with switches.

Our maths units this term are: Number: Place Value, Number: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Number: Fractions and Measurement: Converting Units

Our English Units are: Informal letter writing, Character stories, Non-Chronological reports, Newspaper writing and Renga poems.
