We are going to look at the book The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.
We will be producing leaflets, writing diaries, broadcasting radio reports, composing persuasive letters, as well as lots of reading comprehension activities.
After half term we will be looking at non-fiction texts about The May as well as traditional tales from the Mayan culture. We will be writing instructions and short stories. In poetry we will be studying and then rewriting the poem Nature is Speaking.
We base our maths curriculum on the White Rose programme and before Christmas we will cover the following units:
Science
Before half term we will be looking at Light. We will be thinking about how it travels, reflects and refracts, as well as the colour spectrum and shadows.
After half term our topic is Evolution when we will be finding out about inheritance, adaptation, and the theory of evolution.
Computing
Our main focus to begin the year is Internet Safety; how to navigate the online world safely and what to do if we see something we find uncomfortable.
RE
The Kingdom of God - What kind of a king is Jesus? We will be explaining the connections between biblical texts and the Kingdom of God, and thinking about how Christians put their beliefs into practice, including in worship and in service to the community.
Incarnation - Was Jesus the Messiah? We will be explaining the place of Incarnation and Messiah within the 'bog story' of the Bible and how Christians put their beliefs into practice in different ways in celebrating Christmas.
The Rainforest
We will be using maps to identify and describe the locations of the world's tropical rainforests. We will learn about their climate and attempt to recreate this by making our own rainforest biomes. We will be using these Rainforests in Jars to learn about the water cycle and to see it in practice. We will be comparing the Amazon Rainforest to the area that we live in and will be finding out the threats it is facing.
We will be learning about the Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes and using colourful shapes, collage and printing techniques to recreate the layers of the rainforest.
The Maya
Music will be based on Earth by Hans Zimmer. Children will listen and reflect on a piece of orchestral music. They will then create their own piece of music and perform it as an ensemble.

The Dove
The use of a dove and olive branch as a symbol of peace originated with the early Christians, who portrayed the act of baptism accompanied by a dove holding an olive branch in its beak and also used the image on their sepulchres. ... The dove and olive branch also appeared in Christian images of Noah's ark.
