We are looking at how prayer is important for our relationship with God, This week we look at praying through a sacred dance to Mary's song: Magnificat

Topic

A siren sounds, a building crumbles, a spitfire zooms overhead. Take cover! It's 1939 and Britain is at war. Deep down in the Anderson shelter, we are learning why nations are fighting and why child evacuees must make the long journey from their homes and families into unknown territory.

Autumn 

Topic

From nothingness came chaos, from chaos came air and water, from air and water came life! Then, rising majestically from the darkness, came Gaia, Mother Earth, a beacon of warmth and light.

Discover a fantastical world full of mythical creatures and legendary heroes. Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis and Zeus reign almighty from Mount Olympus, watching mere mortals on dusty Athenian streets.

Meet Theseus, the hero, and Helen of Troy, the beautiful face that launched a thousand ships.

Explore the terrains of Greece, where in pure blue skies, the sun scorches waxen wings and melts the fortunes of Icarus and Daedalus.

Then decide your own fate, when a mysterious box is found and stirs your curious mind.

The children will be focusing on Geography, locating Modern and Ancient Greece on a map and identifying the geographical features of the beautiful mountainous county. They will study the history of Greek architecture and life and how Ancient Greece shaped Modern Greece. 

English

Meet Zeus, king of all the gods, ruler of the skies, cloud gatherer and master of rain. Listen to his torrid tales of how he fought and conquered his father, Cronus, then drew lots with his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, to become supreme ruler of the gods. 

The children will discover his deadly powers and his lightning thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him by writing his biography. The children will also be introduced to a range of Greek myths, retelling them and writing their own.

Maths

This half term, the children will be focusing on place value of numbers up to 10, 000, 000. They will learn the value of each digit of numbers, including decimals to 3 decimal places.
