| English | Pupils will develop their descriptive writing by writing about adventure stories that they read and create. Together we will read a series of books that explore the theme, before using what we have learnt to create our own original story. | What are your favourite stories at home? Why do you like them? |
| Maths | Pupils will spend time learning about time and money. During this final half term of the year, pupils will plan a trip to a shop to buy the ingredients for our weekly cooking lesson. | Play a game at home, trying to guess how long it will take you to complete a series of tasks. How long do you think it will take to put the washing up away? How long will it take to step foot in every room in the house? |
| PSHE | Pupils will continue to discuss and learn about the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. We will chart our level of physical activity and monitor if what we do is enough. We will also explore the consequences of not being active enough. | What can you do now that you could not do 3 years ago? How have you changed in that time? |
| Personal Development/PfAL | We will spend time working in groups to complete challenges. At the end of June we will visit Labyrinth Laser Tag in Norwich, as part of a teamwork focus. Pupils will also plan walking trips, assessing risks that need to be considered along the way, | Discuss with your child how they find working in groups. Do they like the responsibility, or do they prefer to try to solve problems on their own? |
| Kitchen Skills | Pupils will continue to explore healthy eating this half term, along with learning safe hygiene and food handling in our Teaching Kitchen. Pupils will plan, buy and make a recipe each week, which will be turned into our very own Sycamore Cook Book. | What are your favourite family meals at home, do you have a recipe? If so, send it in and we can consider making it. |
| Computing | Linked to our adventure writing in English, pupils will design their own world and explore landscapes from computer games. They will then design their own adventure world to present to others. | If possible, explore the landscapes of some adventure lands by watching YouTube videos of games such as: Minecraft, Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing.
|
| Art | Pupils will continue to create their own landscape portraits of the coast, using perspective, colour blending and texture to capture some of the local area’s surroundings. | What colours do you think will be the most useful for painting the coastline? Try to visit the coast or look at pictures taken at different times of the day. How do the colours change? |
| Further Education | Pupils will visit Easton College in July in order to explore local further education provision. They will view the site as well talk to course leaders about a day of the life of a student who attends the college. | Have a look at the Easton College website and feel free to send in any questions about moving on. |
| PE | Pupils will explore striking and fielding games. This will include cricket, rounders. We will be looking at all aspects of the sports in bowling , fielding and catching | Aim to spend time outside exercising with the (hopefully!) warm weather. |
| Photography | Pupils will spend Friday mornings continuing to take photography lessons from Jason. They have taken some fantastic photos this term and are enjoying the process and thought that goes into planning the shots. | We will send home some of the photos that your child has taken so that you can see the great work that they have done. |
