Topic

Our topic for the Summer Term is the Romans. During this block of learning, we will be exploring why the Roman Empire was so successful, what it was like to be a Roman Soldier and train in the Roman army. We will also explore what it was like to live in Rome and in other parts of the empire.

We will be doing lots of fun things; making Roman shields, practising marching and trying to recreate Roman shield formations. We all seem to really be enjoying this study so far.

Below is our Knowledge Organiser for this topic, which outlines all the key information and objectives related to this unit of study.

Maths

Our focus for the summer term in Maths is 'Time', 'Properties of Shape' and 'Mass and Capacity'. We follow the White Rose Maths scheme of learning, which supports teachers to provide children with challenging and engaging learning activities. 

If you would like to look more closely at the White Rose Maths curriculum, please follow the link below.

English

In Literacy, we follow the 'Talk 4 Writing' scheme. Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong. It is powerful because it is based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
