This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning - CHANGING STATES

Our Caritas Theme is The Common Good - We Face Challenges Together

This term’s topic is ‘Changing States’.  Throughout this topic we will be exploring the challenges that people face and how we can work together to overcome them.

In the first half of term, we will be learning about Natural Disasters.  Through our hook with a book, ‘Earth Shattering Events’, we will also look at what causes different disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. We will focus on natural disasters in North and South America. In science, we will be finding out about ways of separating different materials, using processes such as evaporation, sieving and filtering.

In the second half of term we will be looking at the Ancient Maya civilisation. and linking this to facing challenges together. In our learning, we will find out where the Maya people lived and learn about their traditions, costume and way of life.    We will be looking at this through the book ‘Curse of the Maya’, where a brother and sister go on an adventure to Guatemala, where they find themselves in the middle of a Maya mystery!  This will all link with our Caritas theme of We Face Challenges Together.

In Art, we will be exploring and creating our own food packaging, whist in Design and Technology we will be learning about cams and pulleys.

P.E. 

 Our P.E. lessons will be every Tuesday and Thursday.

Please ensure your child has the correct St. Luke's PE kit.  We will still be doing outdoor PE when the weather turns cold, so navy joggers and sweatshirt will be required.  

NO JEWELLERY is to be worn for any PE lessons; this includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. 

Other Information

 

Reading

Please ensure that your child reads daily.  They should be reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction books.  It is important that they read to an adult/older sibling as often as possible.  Please ask your child questions about what they have read and encourage them to give opinions about the book.  Reading diaries must be signed by an adult each time they read at home.

Water Bottles

Your child must bring in a water bottle each day.  Our water fountains are currently switched off, so water bottles from home are essential.  They will bring these home each day.

Home Learning

Home Learning will be given each Wednesday, and is due in the following Tuesday,  Each week, your child will be expected to complete a Topic activity (found on the menu inside their Home Learning book and on their Teams account).  Children will also have weekly spellings to learn, plus an maths Active Learn activity (if your child is having difficulty accessing their Active Learn account then a paper copy will be sent home).  

Please support your child with any Home Learning, getting them into the routine of complete all activities each week.  This is great preparation for secondary school. 

 Birthdays

Please be reminded that children are not to bring in party bags or sweets.  Instead, we ask that a book is donated to our school/class library.
