We are Cherry Class!

The adult in Cherry Class is Mrs Williams

In Maths, we will be developing our understanding of place value and the four operations. We will be learning column addition and subtraction and learn methods for division and multiplication. We will be developing our times table knowledge of the 3s, 4s and 8 times tables as well as consolidating our knowledge of 2s, 5s and 10 times tables.

In English, we will explore a number of texts. These will include The Tin Forest, The Stone Age Boy, The Promise and The Firework Maker’s Daughter.

In History, we will be learning about how Britain changed from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, why the Romans wanted to invade Britain and how the Anglo-Saxons changed Britain.

In Science, we will be finding out the earth, forces and why humans and animals need a skeleton.

As part of PSHE, we will begin our work with Oxenhope Primary as part of our Linking Journey. This is an exciting time to make links with children from a different community and buddy up with new friends. Our buddies will come to our school in the Summer term. We will learn how to be part of a community and explore different family dynamics.

In Art, we will be exploring observational art. We will be developing pencil and paint techniques. We will be recreating Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh using powder paint and learning how to mix colours for different textures and tones. We will be developing our painting skills and recapping techniques such as blending, mixing and shading.

In RE, we will be exploring the life of Jesus through a number of questions including what is the trinity and why is the day when Jesus dies called ‘Good Friday’. We will also be visiting a Mandir to find out about the beliefs held by Hindu people.

In Geography, we will be exploring rainforests and what animals live there as well as learning about Mountains in Britain and the rest of the world.
