We have many exciting activities planned during this summer term and we cannot wait to explore and learn about them all with you. During spummer, our topics will be 'Extreme Earth' and 'How to Train for The Olympics in Extreme Environments.'

We will incorporate our topic into subject areas where appropriate. Below is a short overview of what will be taught in each subject.

English 

In English this term, we will be exploring two books:

'Amazing Rivers' 

and

'The Merchant Venice' 

During the first half of the term, we will write an information board, designed to give visitors information and persuade them to look after our waterways. Then, during the second half, we will plan and write a guide for visiting the Globe Theatre in London

Maths

In Maths this term, we will be focusing on fractions, money and time, and shape.

We will also learn through lots of active maths activities using Maths of the Day. We will also be focusing on our times tables this year and practice these daily to ensure we are confident with our multiplication.

Science

In Science, our topice will the 'Light'. We will recognise that they need light to see in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light. Notice that light is reflected from surfaces. Recognise that light from the sun can be dangerous. Recognise that shadows are formed when a solid object blocks the light from a light source. Find patterns in the way that the sizes of shadows change.  

RE

In RE we will be focusing on: 

• Pentecost – Serving (Energy)
• Reconciliation – Inter-relating (Choices)
• Universal Church – World (Special Places)

History and Geography

We will be focusing on Geography in the first half of the term. The children will understand the Earth's layers; explain how volcanoes are formed; understand how to measure earthquakes; and learn how tsunamis are created. 

We will be focusing on history during the last half term. Class 3 will learn the history of the olympics, how people have trained in the past and how people have trained for extreme weather environments.
