Term 3

Inquiry:

This term we will be exploring the movement of people. When you start thinking about a topic such as this you really start to realise how many effects this has on people, and the many reasons why people move. Sometimes this can be a huge change, such as moving from halfway across the world, to a much smaller but still significant move, such as to a new house or area. We will be looking at movement from many different viewpoints and time periods. Starting locally with the historic development of our area and then branching out further afield, looking at the many reasons why people move from one place to another.

P.E:

Cross country and ball games will be the physical education focus for the term, but we will still try to have a session per week working on our bike skills.

Literacy:

Narratives and storytelling are our  literacy focus which encompasses: writing, reading and oral language. 

Maths:

Fractions, proportions and ratios are our focuses in numeracy while our strand maths is geared around measurement and geometry involving: enlarging simple shapes to a specified scale eg twice the size, describing transformations; reflection, rotation, translation or enlargement that has mapped one object onto another, finding lines of reflective symmetry, designing and making patterns which involve translation, reflection and rotation, reading angles on a protractor, measuring angles using a protractor, and knowing the interior angle sum of any triangle.

The Arts:

The student will be creating mixed media masterpieces around the theme of movement, journeys and travel. They will also be involved in roles plays and drama, including storytelling and speeches.
