07/01/2019 - Happy New Year!
Hello all!
Happy New Year!
I do hope you all had a wonderful break full of relaxation
and celebrations. I am looking forward to seeing the children on Wednesday and
I'm sure they are all eager to return to school!
Half Term Topics
Science - Within science we will be exploring light. Within
this topic the children will be able to: recognise that they need light in
order to see things and that dark is the absence of light; notice that light is
reflected from surfaces; recognise that light from the sun can be dangerous and
that there are ways to protect their eyes; recognise that shadows are formed
when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object; find
patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
ICT- Within ICT we will be creating and publishing using
computers and technology. The children will learn how to touch type, gather
information from searching using the internet and they will explore and learn
how to use PowerPoint and present with the information gathered from the
internet.
Geography – Within Geography we will be exploring our local
area. We will be looking at Potters
Bar in relation to the world and I am hoping we will be able to explore the local area and
write up an observation report of local area explored.
Art- Within
art we will be exploring Paul Cezanne, we did start this last term and will be
continuing to explore his work, techniques and will be recreating some of his
paintings.
