Our learning - Spring
Hold onto your togas – term 3 is a blockbuster!
We’re travelling back to Ancient Greece, diving into Corinthian Girl and unleashing our inner historians through diaries, newspaper reports, persuasive texts and more. Maths is getting serious (in a fun way!) as we tackle formal multiplication, division and fractions, while Science gets gloriously gruesome as we explore the human digestion system – squeamish students beware! In RE we’re wrestling with the big question, “What would Jesus do?”, Computing has us directing our very own stop-motion animations (Hollywood, watch out!), and PE is a double act of gymnastics and dance. French is all about clothing, so expect some très chic vocabulary, and Music is going full blues – a moment Miss Wallis has been waiting for all year.
Our learning - Autumn
What a fantastic start to the year!
Term 1 launched us into a whirlwind of discovery and creativity across the curriculum. In History, we journeyed back in time to uncover the mysteries of the Maya civilisation, while Science challenged us to investigate mixtures and separation through hands-on exploration. Our artistic side shone in Art as we created stunning space-inspired imagery, and in RE we reflected deeply on what it means for God to be both loving and holy.
We strengthened our teamwork skills in PSHE, took on fast-paced challenges in tag rugby during PE, and developed our collaborative computing skills through exciting projects. In French, we grew in confidence by practising conversational language. Our love of reading flourished in English as we explored Middleworld alongside a range of powerful myths, while Maths kept our brains buzzing with work on shapes, coordinates, and Roman numerals.
Term 2 was just as action-packed!
In English, we were inspired by The Last Tree, prompting thoughtful discussions about the importance of protecting our planet. Geography took us on a thrilling adventure into the world of deserts, discovering what makes these extreme environments so unique. Science was a real highlight, with weekly experiments exploring different materials and their properties—our classroom felt like a laboratory!
In RE, we learned about the Holy Trinity and its significance to Christians around the world. Our PE lessons saw us sharpening our hockey skills—and wow, the progress has been amazing! Creativity continued to flourish as we learned the Samba in Music, created our own rhythms using Scratch in Computing, and explored a French family tree in French.
