This term is titled ‘This Is Your Life’ where we will go on a journey to look at ourselves, discovering what it means to be human, the impact our actions have on others and to understand changes that will happen to us as we develop and grow older. In literacy, we will be biography writing, focusing on a role model of the children’s choice. In maths, we will be investigating fractions and angles. In science, we will be describing the water cycle and human growth and development.
Our Big Ideas this term are RESILIENCE and FRIENDSHIP. We will be asking the broad questions:
- Can individual actions have a global impact?
Inspirational People we will be looking at are:
- Rita Ora - singer, fashionista, TV personality and refugee. She was made a UK Unicef Ambassador in 2019.
- Amika George - activist who created a charity which provides free sanitary products to school children. She was appointed as Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2021.
