We will be writing a range of different text types based on the story. We'll be thinking about how the story links to our geography work about the environment and the impact humans have on their local area.
Our guided reading text this half term is by Roald Dahl. We will be studying George's Marvellous Medicine.
You can hear a classic performance of the story below. Listen to the prosody. How would you perform the story?
In history, this half term, we will be finding out about Ancient Greece. We will find out about Ancient Greek culture, how Ancient Greeks lived and fought and their legacies - for example democracy and the legal system, architecture and the olympics.
Here is Greece. Can you remember the continents? What about the seas and oceans?
Remember, things in Ancient Greece weren't happening alone. Have a look at the timeline to see what else was happening around the world and in Britain during the Ancient Greek period.
There was lots of conflict in Ancient Greece but there was also lots of amazing thinking going on. Have a listen to this from the team at Horrible Histories. You might be surprised by some of the things that the Ancient Greeks invented. (The piano wasn't one of them - pianos didn't turn up until the 1700's. Rememember, not everything in Horrible Histories is accurate!)
In science, we will be learning about food chains. We will be finding out about the transfer of energy and the importance of the sun and plants as producers We will be learning about predators and prey; herbivores, omnivores and carnivores and how food chains can be disrupted.
Can you explain what this food chain is showing? What would happen if the grass or rabbits disappeared?
You can find out some information about food chains by watching the video clip. Can you remember any of the key vocabulary?
