Our topic for this half term is Spain!
All of our planning is based around the six areas of learning and four core purposes with pupil voice at the heart. Please see below our medium-term planning grid for Summer 2.
Our Languages, Literacy and Communication will focus on writing a biography on a chosen Spanish celebrity and writing instructions for Spanish recipes. We will also be writing and recording our own rap in relation to water pollution!
Our oracy this term will focus on learning both Spanish and Welsh, in particular the song Calon Lan.
Maths and Numeracy we will be focusing on a number of aspects to expand our knowledge and understanding. This term we will be looking at interpreting data, classifying and sorting shapes and division.
In Science and Technology, we will be investigating threats to health in terms of litter and water pollution. As a class, we will look at how we can take action to tackle these issues.
Our Humanities focus will be looking closely at Spain and its history and exploring its culture.
During Expressive Arts we will be looking at the artwork of Picasso and Joan Miro and developing our own masterpieces in their styles.
There will be regular updates of the children's work on our Twitter page.
Summer Term 2 - Around the World - Spain

A learning context homework grid is available on Google Classroom and on our class page, which can be completed over the course of the term and can be found on the Severn page of our school website. Your child can choose to do as many of the tasks as they wish. The children will also be set weekly or fortnightly tasks to complete at home which will alternate between literacy and numeracy. The children will also have spellings to practice weekly. This might be a game or an activity that you can do together at home.
All homework will be shared via Google classroom and uploaded on a Friday. This must be completed by the following Thursday.
