Term 2
Welcome to our Mission to the Stars!
This term, we are learning all about Space! Using the texts Counting on Katherine and Hidden Figures, we will be exploring the life of Katherine Johnson, her accomplishments as a NASA mathematician and her groundbreaking contributions to history. In science, we will be learning how the Earth, Sun and Moon move and we will be considering how this movement affects us on Earth.
In our maths, as part of our focus on multiplication and division, we will be developing our understanding of multiples and factors. We will also be adding and subtracting fractions. In art, we will find out about the Pop Art Movement, focusing on the artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Yayoi Kusama. We will be developing our understanding of primary, secondary and tertiary colours, and exploring the use of warm, cold, complementary and harmonious colours. We will also experiment with different techniques to create our own Pop Art collages.
In computing, we will learn about creating media and we will make our own videos. Our PE lessons are on Wednesdays and Fridays this term and please ensure that your child has a named PE kit in school. We will be setting homework weekly, usually on a Friday, and we would like homework books to be back in school by Thursday at the latest. Please continue to read regularly with your child at home, or to encourage them to read independently.
Thank you for all your support.
