Summer Term 2
One Person Can Change the World
Welcome back to school for an exciting 2nd half of our Summer term!
Our new theme, One Person Can Change the World, explores the world of aviation and the significant life of Amelia Earhart (the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932 and the first person to fly solo across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans).
As historians, we will explore the history of flight and how they changed the world. This will begin with the first manned hot air balloon flight by the Montgolfier brothers leading onto the first powered flight by the Wright brothers and then onto the achievements of Amelia Earhart.
We’re very excited to read our books all about Amelia Earhart and the extraordinary life she led: Amelia Earhart by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Maria Diamantes and Who was Amelia Earhart? by Kate Boehm Jerome.
In Design Technology, we’ll become young engineers, exploring mechanisms and how sliders and leavers work effectively. We will be designing and building a moving storyboard to retell the story of Amelia Earhart's trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
It’s going to be an action-packed half term—full of learning, discovery, and fun so please keep checking our Class Dojo for more exciting curriculum updates!
Summer Term 1 - Grand Designs
Welcome back to school for an exciting 1st half of our Summer term!
We cannot wait to immerse ourselves into our new school theme ‘Grand Designs’ where we will be young geographers exploring our local area. We will study the United Kingdom, identifying all four countries (and their capital cities) and the seas which surround the UK.
As young historians, we will study Selby Abbey and its place within the local community. We will discover key religious features of the Abbey (building on our previous RE learning) and we will lean about key historical events based around the Abbey.
Using their scientific learning, we will explore Brayton Barff, identifying wild plants and trees within our local environment.
As young artists and designers, we will learn about stained glass windows and how they tell stories. We will explore real-life examples within the Abbey and the work of Louis Tiffany and William Wailes. We will use our skills of collage to design and make a stained glass window to celebrate Selby.
Our book this half term is The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and we will immerse ourselves in the individual personalities of different coloured crayons and how they ae feeling due to how they are being used. We will rehearse our diary writing skills and write our own versions inspired by this fun book.
