We will be learning all about...

 Literacy

Religious Education

Which rules should we follow

 During this topic we will be giving pupils an opportunity to consider the value and purpose of rules. We will examine the Christian rules for living and examine the source of these rules. We will be encouraging pupils to reflect upon their own lifestyle and the influences upon it. We will also be looking at the rules of other faiths and the ways in which these rules influence behaviour and decisions.

We will be learning to

  • Recognise some different ways to pay for items.
  • Explain that money is needed when paying for items using a cheque, bank transfer or card.
  • Create a simple budget.
  • Explain how situations involving money can affect our feelings.
  • Understand that a range of things might influence our spending choices.
  • Recognise that there is a wide range of jobs available and that personal skills and interests affect career choices.
  • Understand that stereotypes sometimes exist about the jobs people do.

Numeracy

In maths we learning about fractions, we ill be looking at the denominator of unit fractions, comparing and ordering unit fractions, understanding the numerator of non-unit fractions and understanding the whole. We then move on to comparing and ordering fractions and looking at divisions and fraction on a number line before looking at equivalent fractions.

We will be comparing how things move on different surfaces, investigating that some forces need contact but magnetic forces can act at a distance, observing how magnets can attract and repel each other, compare and group everyday objects based on whether they are attracted to magnets  and identify some magnetic materials. We will describe the poles of magnets and predict whether magnets will attract or repel each other based on the way they are facing.
