Term One

Our value this term: Thankfulness

This term our enquiry will be "How did the Roman Invasion change life in Britain?'

Enquiry questions:

Who has stood here before us? How has life changed since the Stone Age?
What was life like in Britain when Jesus was born?
What did the Romans bring to Britain? How did Britain resist? What did they leave behind? What is the legacy of the Romans?

English

In English this term, we will be reading  the text 'Escape from Pompeii'. This narrative follows two children making their desperate escape from the ancient city of Pompeii aboard a ship as the nearby Mount Vesuvius erupts and destroys their home.

Using this text, we will develop our reading skills by retrieving information, as well as using interpretation skills to understand character feelings and emotions and exploring new vocabulary. The children will use these skills to visualise, predict and sequence events to showcase their understanding.

Maths

In Maths this term, we will be looking at addition and subtraction before exploring numbers up to 10,000.

Art/DT

In DT we will be looking at what constitutes a solid structure and will use these skills to link with our enquiry learning and create our own Colosseum's.
