Set Design - Art
This term in Art, we will be exploring set design and techniques that are used to aid the design. To strengthen our understanding, we will be visiting Harry Potter Studios in London to look at their set designs, before building our own sets, using the Harry Potter sets as inspiration.
We had a great time at the Harry Potter studios, exploring the sets and drinking butterbeer!
Drugs and Alcohol - PSHE
In PSHE this term, the children will be developing an understanding of what a drug is and the effect it could have on the brain and body. They will be given scenarios and will need to decide whether they should or shouldn't interact, based upon whether that scenario is good or bad.
The Human Body - Science
In Science this term, we will be learning about the human body. Firstly focusing in on the circulatory system. We will find out what the circulatory system is, what makes it up and how it works. Following this, we will then investigate further, the make-up of blood and how it flows through our bodies. To deepen our understanding, we will be dissecting a lamb's heart to enhance our learning and understanding of the layout of the heart. Furthermore, we will be conducting an experiment to deepen our understanding of how exercise can affect our heart rates. We will then develop an understanding of how drugs, alcohol and exercise affect our bodies, before conducting an experiment to understand further how exercise affects our pulse and body.
We dissected lambs' hearts to further understand the way the circulatory system works and how blood flows through the heart.
We conducted an experiment to understand how exercise can affect our heart rates. We varied our exercise time from 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds.
These are all our amazing diagrams of the different parts of the circulatory system and the role they play within it!
HTML - Computing
During Computing this term, we will be learning about HTML, focusing on what it is and learning how to use HTML to develop our own websites.
We created our own websites using HTML!
Natural Disasters - Geography
This term, we will be looking at natural disasters. We will be learning what a natural disaster is, what different types of natural disasters there are, what causes them, the impact they have and how this can be reduced and some natural disasters that have happened in the world.
We conducted research into natural disasters that have already occurred across the world!
Maya - History
During this Learning Experience, we will be learning about the Mayan empire. We will begin by looking at who the Maya were and where they lived. We will be comparing the Maya timeline with events from British history. We will explore how the Mayan civilisation was run, how they lived and their beliefs, before investigating the decline of Maya cities. At the end of the Learning Experience, we will invite parents in to experience some of our learning.
We explored potential reasons that contributed to the demise of The Maya and came up with our own ideas for it!
