Fiction and poetry Blue John by Berlie Doherty A range of non- fiction books on biographies and the Victorians. Fiction and poetry Streetchild by Berlie Doherty History Vikings and Anglo Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of England to the time of Edward the Confessor. A study of an aspect or theme in British history the Victorians Geography Locational Knowledge Lands of the Vikings Skills and fieldwork Use of maps and atlases. Rivers Human and Physical Geography Describe and understand key aspects of rivers. Skills and fieldwork Use of OS maps local. Use of compass for direction. Observe, measure, record through sketch maps and UK / Scilly Isles Study of an Island of choice Skills and fieldwork Use of atlases OS maps local Locational Knowledge Location of Scilly Isles UK, GB, England relatives
graphs. Locational knowledge Rivers of the world (home learning project) Outdoor learning: study of local stream. send postcards and place on map Human and Physical Geography Physical climate and land features Human types of settlement and land use, economic activity Science Earth and Space Describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system. Describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth. Describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies. Use the idea of the Earth s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. Properties and changes of materials Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets. Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution. Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating. Place knowledge Similarities and differences between Isle of Scilly and Ashington Forces (link with Bikeablility) Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object. Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction that act between moving surfaces. Recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a great effect. Animals, including humans Describe the changes as humans develop to old age.
Computing Digital Literacy Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact Main focus in the autumn term and then address frequently throughout the year. Understand computer networks, including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the World Wide Web, and the opportunities they offer for Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic. Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes. Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda. Living things and their habitats Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird. Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals.
Art communication and collaboration use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content Main focus in the autumn term and then address frequently throughout the year. Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices. Digiblues Space animations DB Primary Espresso Use sketch books to record observations and experiment with a range of media. Review and revisit ideas. Algorithms solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs Programming - Scratch design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs Use of Dazzle - William Morris Excel spreadsheets
