This unit will focus on the Mayan civilisation. We will learn about the monumental buildings and characteristic stepped pyramids. In addition, we will study Mayan use of mathematics and the accuracy of their calendar. In this exciting new topic, children will learn all about the geography of Spain: from human geography (such as learning about Spain s demographics) to physical geography (learning about the rivers, mountain ranges, borders of the country) we will all be experts by the end! This term we will be learning about the changing power of monarchs. This will link with our key text: The Photo Album, where photos of different times are discovered. During Term 5, the science topic of electricity including circuits will be our main focus. This will link well with our ICT unit of instructions, where we will program lights to go on and off. Venice, canals and water in general will be our focus this term. We will have the opportunity to study rivers, launched on our residential trip to Simonsbath Outdoor Centre.

5 Science Biology: Classification including micro-organisms describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics. Physics: Light and Shadows; the eye recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them. Biology: Health and lifestyles including circulatory system identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans. Revision of all key areas from Key Stage 2 curriculum. Physics: electricity: investigating circuits associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram. Biology: Evolution and adaptation recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution. Revision of scientific knowledge from across Key Stage 2 5

8 Design and Technology Combining different fabric shapes: investigate and analyse textile products; produce detailed lists of equipment; reinforcing, strengthened and reinforced. Electrical Systems: more complex switches switches and circuits Step-by-step plan; test and evaluate a system; know and use technical vocabulary; develop a design specification. Food: celebrating culture and seasonality: Eid party: step-bystep recipe; using utensils/equipment; evaluate a range of relevant products; test and evaluate their recipes Music Music Express Native north American music: Earth Spirit World Unite: play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression Journeys: play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression Performing together: use and understand staff and other musical notations Roots: listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory develop an understanding of the history of music. Moving on: improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the interrelated dimensions of music PE 8
