Autumn 1 - Divide & Conquer!
Welcome back to school for a brand new academic year. The first half of the Autumn term in Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2) is set to be a very exciting one! We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming back our children and families after the school break and every class has already dived into their learning of our new topic and have settled extremely quickly in to our school life.
Our theme for this half term is 'Divide & Conquer!' History leads this theme and, as historians, we will explore the legacy of the infamous unsinkable ship - the Titanic. We will map the journey of the Titanic through mathematically accurate timelines showing key events and the use of maps and atlases to see the physical journey across the Atlantic Ocean. We will debate the causes for the catastrophe and its impact on future shipbuilding, including the history of shipbuilding in Selby. The children have been invited to a Titanic Day (Wednesday 1st October) where we will immerse ourselves into the journey of the ship.
This half term we will be reading the exciting class novel, 'Kasper: Prince of Cats' by Michael Morpurgo. This exciting tale follows the adventures of Johnny, a bell boy at the Savoy Hotel in London, who meets a curious cat named Kasper. The pair develop a strong bond which sees them make friends, escape the rath of Skullface and travel on the fateful journey of the Titanic.
In Design Technology, we will become young engineers, exploring moving mechanisms. We will research, design, make and evaluate the use of leavers and linkages to make a moving picture to represent the sinking of the Titanic.
As citizens, we will explore the Rights of a Child, charities and our local community. Within these PSHE lessons, we will develop a deeper understanding of our local community through exploring buildings and groups; council and democracy; and diversity.
Our '50 Things' challenges for this half term are:
We are all set for a fantastic start to the year!
