History - Prehistoric - Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age
This term, we will be learning about Prehistoric Britain. We will begin to understand the chronology and significance this time period had in our country today. We will look at archaeologists' findings to explore the Bronze Age and investigate the different settlements across these periods.
To link with our English book, we will be developing our research skills to figure out what is fact and what is fiction within our book. These findings will help us create our own story about the Stone Age!
Maths
This term, we will continue looking into adding and subtraction. Once we have finished this unit, we will move onto multiplication and division, where we will begin looking at our timetables in depth and begin making links between them.
English
Our focus text will be - Ug - Boy Genius of the Stone Age, written by Raymond Briggs
Ug has big ideas about how to change things for the better - but his mother hates any thoughts of change: this is the way we have always done it, this is the way we will always continue to do it. Maybe some nice, warm, soft trousers would improve her mood. But will she listen to Ug's big ideas?
For this book, we will be working on developing our descriptive writing (both setting a scene and character profiles). We will be doing cross-curricular work to work on our persuasive techniques, forming balanced arguments about what parts of the story are fact and fiction. Lastly, we will be using our excellent letter writing techniques to tell Ug all the amazing things about life today!
