Literacy
Poetry
The children will explore how poetry is used to express emotion. They will develop an understanding of how poets
carefully select adjectives, verbs and adverbs to evoke different emotions in the reader. They will know how to
use speech punctuation accurately and will understand how to write consistently about the past, present and
future. Children will experience performing poetry and using familiar poems as the model for their own writing.
Letters
This links in with our world war 2 topic as the children will pretend they are evacuee children and write letters
home to their parents. They will learn about tense, writing in the 3rd person and using powerful verbs.
Play scripts
This will link in with our Christmas script. The children will identify and use adverbs and powerful verbs. Create
characters using description, stage directions and dialogue. Compare dialogue and playscripts.

fractions
Length, Capacity & Place Value in Money

PE
This will be led by Mrs. Smith. Children will need to
have both an indoor and outdoor kit as usual. This
includes shoes, jogging bottoms and a long sleeve top
for outdoors as they will be going out in most weathers.
If they do not have their kit then they will have to do a
written account of the lesson they observe.
Topic
Prepare for the 70th Anniversary of VE day celebrations at the end of World War 2 in Europe by studying the start of the war, the Dunkirk rescue, the Battle of Britain, the Dday landings and finally the end of the war, all from a child’s perspective.
We will learn about the historic events that led to the outbreak of the Second World War. The children will place events on a timeline that will grow throughout the topic and
build understanding of the chronology of the war. They will look at, and experience through role play, the early events of the war from a child’s perspective.
