AUTUMN TERM
Religion - Advent
We made our own Advent Wreath to help us remember how all of the different coloured candles help us get ready for Jesus at this special time.
Art - Cave Paintings
We have been learning about how people in the prehistoric times would have used natural materials to make "art". We practised making negative and positive hand prints, similar to those on prehistoric cave walls. We made our own cave paintings with natural materials and spices.
Science - Forces
We have been learning about forces such as push, pull and twist. We carried out an experiment to see which type of material caused the most friction to slow a car down on a ramp. We recorded our results on a table.
Music - Rhythm and Notation
We have been using instruments to begin to play a simple tune. We began to learn about the time value of longer and shorter notes (crotchets and quavers). We practised our performance in pairs and small groups.
Science - Skeletons and Muscles
We have been learning about vertebrates and invertebrates. We have also been learning about animals that can be classified as endoskeletons and exoskeletons. We have been learning the names of many important bones and their functions. We had a go at making out own “working hands” to demonstrate how muscles work together to pull bones and move them.
Maths - Number and Place Value
We have been developing our understanding of place value with numbers up to 1000. We have used lots of practical resources, part-whole models and number lines to help us with this.
Religion - God’s Wonderful Creations
We have been learning all about the Creation Story in Genesis. We took a trip outside into our school grounds to observe and draw all of the wonderful things that God made.
