Pathways Spring 1

Our Pathways to Write text for this half term is, 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' a story set in Norse Mythology, telling the tale of a young boy, Arthur, who goes on an adventure to collect some artefacts to relight the fire of his village. The children will be learning relative clauses, using brackets for parenthesis and there is a focus on planning out their story.

What are we learning in Spring 1?

Our RE this half term will have a focus on Islam and what is Hajj and why is it important to Muslims?

In Computing we will be looking at computer selection and vector drawing.

History we are learning about the Sikh Empire and how it linked to the British Empire.

In Art is linking to our HPAN and is 'making our voices heard'.

Our science is looking at living things and their habitats.

PE

For this half term, we will have two lessons of PE throughout the week, which will take place on a Wednesday and a Thursday. On Thursdays, Y5 are swimming, while Y6 will be doing PE in school.

Spelling

Children will be taught spellings in school, with a focus on applying the rule that is being taught that week.

Online Learning Resources

Our children have access to a range of online resources to aid their learning. Here are the links to some useful websites that children can use whilst not in school, their usernames and passwords can be found in their School Planner.  All children are familiar with how to use these. Clicking on each name will take you to the website.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions:
