Science: In Science this half-term we are studying sound. We will explore how sound is created before taking part in scientific enquiries related to sound. For example, we will make string telephones and investigate whether the length of a piece of string affects the sound transmitted. We will also have a 'sound of science' experience day this half-term.
History: This term we will continue to study the Romans. In our lessons this half-term, we will explore why the Roman Army was so successful before looking at how the Roman Empire eventually collapsed. We will then look at how the Romans impacted Britain by answering the question: 'What did the Romans do for us?'
Art and Design: This half-term, we will design and create Roman catapults in our Design and Technology lessons.
PE: During our PE lessons this half-term, we will be coached by Brad from the Leeds Rhinos Foundation. We will be learning key skills which will allow pupils to successfully play a game of Tag Rugby. We will also be practising skipping this half-term in the lead up to our participation in the skipping festival next half-term. We will also continue our weekly swimming lessons every Thursday.
