Kite Class- Summer Term 2nd Half
For the remainder of the Summer term, Kite class will be continuing their geography topic about Italy. We will be learning more about the physical aspects of this country, specifically looking at volcanoes. We will research Etna and Pompeii, watch videos of their eruptions, and create our own models. This will link in with our Science topic ‘Rocks’. The class can already identify a range of rock types (basalt, limestone, marble, granite, sandstone, slate and chalk). They will be investigating the hardness of rocks and their solubility. We will describe how fossils are formed when trapped within rock. Then we will compare soils and recognise that they are made from rocks.
Other areas of learning will be the tessellations and pattern in Art, using MC Esher as our artist. Our language skills will improve with our French lessons. Kite class will be using ‘Scratch’ to enhance their programming skills, creating a short, animated story as a final product. We will be reinforcing the school’s Christian values by using the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’ to develop our learning.
English fiction will have a focus on action writing techniques and non-fiction will focus on persuasion writing.
