What we are learning in Spring 1:

In  Maths, we will be looking at Multiplication and Division part 2. We will exploring: multiplying by 1-digit and 2-digit numbers. Children will be getting to grips with Short Division (Bus-stop method) and exchanging between each number. 

In English, we will be looking into the life of Katherine Johnson and how she shaped the future of space travel whilst facing segregation in USA. We will be looking at features of a biography and writing our own on 'life of Katherine Johnson'.

In Science, our topic is “Planets.” We will be exploring space and around our solar system. We will be discovering how the moon works and how our planets affect the time and day.

In History, we are time travelling back to the time of the Anglo - Saxons.  They comprised people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language.

In Religion, we will be studying how we are all made in a likeness of God. The children will finish this topic with a deeper awareness of who they are and how this is an important part of our Catholic community in Christ the King.
