Curriculum Overview
Each year group in the school has a unique curriculum that builds sequentially on the previous year group’s curriculum. The full overview for each subject can be found on the curriculum page of the website. However, the specific knowledge and skills that this year group will be learning over the year can be found below.
As we are in the process of changing some of our curriculum subjects, this is a working document.
Curriculum Information Evening
Homework:
Spelling:
For spelling homework, the class will need to learn the words for the week. The document below breaks down all the spellings for each week.
In class, we will learn how to break down the words into syllables to help us spell them, and will dictate the words in sentences.
You should spend 10 minutes twice a week on spelling practise.
Reading:
Please hear your child read at least twice per week and for 10 minutes each time. When we talk about reading in Key Stage 2, we often mean ‘comprehension’ so please discuss unknown words with your child and ask them questions about the text. Please see the VIPERS example below to aid you:
Times Tables
The children should be undertaking a minimum of 2 x 10 minutes sessions per week on their times tables. This can be completed on any of the links below, but challenges will be set on TT Rockstars where they may want to set task against their peers/me.
The websites they could look at are:
Optional Homework Tasks
Term 1
Science
In class, we have been looking at the different types of teeth we have. Within this task, you should find out what the different types of teeth are used for.
You should then use this information to track what teeth you are using whilst eating different types of food.
Key Words: incisors, canine, premolar and molars.
History
In class, we are learning about Ancient Maya. Within this task, you should research Mayan Masks. You should then design and create your own mask. This could be completed on paper and drawn or produced as a 3D model.
Term 2
Science
In class, we are learning about states of matter. Within this task, you should research the water cycle and identify the states of matter that are involved within each stage. You may wish to draw an image of the process on A4 paper and label it or create a Comic Strip of the stages with text and imagery.
History
In class we are continuing to learn about the Ancient Mayans. Within this task you should think about Mayan civilisation and the life of a child. I would like you to write a diary entry from the point of view of a child. You may want to include: what you did during the day, what you ate, what games you played and what your home looked like.
