Hello and welcome to the Summer term! This term our topic will be the weird and wondeful world of plants. In English we will be using the book 'Beowulf' (Usborne Young Reading) to inspire our playscript writing. We will also be reading 'The Last Tree,' 'The Girl Who Talked to Trees,' and 'The Lost Spells' to inspire our poetry, instructional texts and persuasive writing.
In Maths we will be learning about mass and capacity, fractions, time, shape and statistics. In Science our topic is plants, we will be finding out how they grow, the parts of a plant, pollination and evolution of plants.
We will also be learning about our biggest plants: trees. In History we will discovering all about the Anglo-Saxons and the Scots in Britain after the Romans. In Geography we will be learning about maps and coordinates.
We will be studying Flowers and Plants in Art and making sculptures and prints and in DT we will hopefully be designing and making miniature garden sheds.
