Our topic this term is:

Energy and Engineering

As part of our topic we will be delving into human geography, specifically different types of land use in our local area. We shall focus on the local engineering industry, including Rolls Royce. Later in the half term we shall begin to construct a motorised vehicle using cutting and adhering techniques. 

In English we are going to be studying Like Clockwork by Phillip Pullman. We shall begin by delving into the story and unpicking language choices, the audience, purpose, setting and characters. Our unit will culminate in the children writing their own Clockwork inspired story openers.

This term in science we will be looking at 'Scientific Inquiry.' This will include:

• planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary

• taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate

• recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs

• using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests

• reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and a degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations

• identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments

In PE we shall be taking part in both orienteering and tag rugby lessons. We shall build upon the skills we learn each week and in rugby this will culminate in game scenarios and even learning referee a game.
