What is happening in Autumn Term 1...

In Autumn Term 1 we will focus on geography. We will be learning all about Africa. This will include learning all about Africa’s climate, wildlife and physical geography. We will learn about climate zones and be able to explain the difference between them, we will know that Africa is made up of different countries, that Africa has different climate zones and landscapes. We will also learn about the features of rivers, be able to name 4 different rivers located in Africa (Nile, Congo, Zambezi, Niger), and be able to explain why rivers are important to people and wildlife. We will also label the features of a mountain and know that Mount Kilimanjaro and Nyriagongo are located in Africa. Finally, we will learn about the terms trade, import and export. This will include knowing some natural resources from Africa, and the importance of trade exports and imports from Africa.

As scientists, we will learn all about electricity. We will identify common appliances that run on electricity.  We will construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.  We will also identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery.  We will also recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit.  Finally, we will recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors.

As artists, our focus will be on ‘Tropical Rainforests’. We will explore the use of watercolours to create a collaged response to the work of artists studied. We will study the work of Abel Rodriguez, Henri Rousseau and Henri Matisse.

As computing experts, we will learn that digital devices have inputs, processes, and outputs, and how devices can be connected to make networks.

In RE, we will ask the questions ‘How can we talk about religion and world-views respectfully?’ and ‘Is scripture central to religion? We will do this by exploring the origins of religious texts and considering their value to some followers.

Our focus as athletes, will be to master our fundamental movement skills: agility, balance, coordination, running and jumping and learn to improve our communication skills in PE games.

As Spanish speakers, we will learn 10 common instruments and will be introduced to the 1^st person singular high frequency verb ‘I play’ in Spanish.

In PSHE, as part of My Happy Mind, during our ‘Meet Your Brain’ module we will understand how our brains work and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at our best.

As musicians and performers, our focus will be on ‘creating compositions in response to an animation’. We will learn to tell stories through music and consider narrative.
