Hello and welcome to Mousehole class - 2023/2024!

 

The children of Mousehole class are now into their  second Term of KS2 and what an incredible primary school journey they have had so far! Our children have already shown an amazing level of resilience and have been extremely flexible in adapting to new learning challenges, and we cannot wait to see the fantastic things they will achieve in the coming year.
 
Our Spring term topic is all about ''The Ancient Greeks: The children will investigate how people lived and the history surrounding the Olympics Games. Our class novel will also link to this, as it is a collection 'Greek Myths.'
Geography will focus on modern day Greece and how tourism is a huge part of the countries culture,  how the destination is so popular for sightseeing and the interests in Greek Gods and Myths. 
 
In science, the children will be focusing on Animals, including humans: We will be exploring the 5 key food groups, explaining how food from each food group is essential for human growth and health, learning about the nutrition in the food we eat. Explaining the function of the human skeleton .Investigate how animal skeletons help them to adapt to their environment. Explore the roles of muscles, explain how muscles work. Identify some of the muscles in the human body.   

In their RE sessions,  We will be following an Understanding Christianity unit on People of God, which involves a closer look at the story of Noah. What is it like for a Christian to follow God? What is the ‘Trinity’ and why is it important for Christians?
 
Please see below to find our curriculum plan and chilli challenge homework grid. 
Homework - 
 At St Uny Church of England Academy, we believe homework is anything children do outside of the normal school day that contributes to their learning, in response to guidance from the school. Homework encompasses a whole variety of activities instigated by teachers and parents/carers to support the children's learning.
 
Reading: Reading is a lifelong skill that we try to develop as your child continues their journey through our school. We are keen to develop a love of books and escapism as early as possible, which is why we are introducing ‘Reading Karate’ this year. This is a reward based system for reading at home, which results in the children moving up through coloured ‘belts’ (wristbands) depending on how many ‘reads’ they have completed. We would greatly appreciate your support with this new initiative, not only by listening to your child read but by perhaps sharing some of your favourite books from your childhood with them too. 
 
Maths: St Uny Church of England Academy has invested in ‘Timestables Rockstars’, an online resource for learners to practise their multiplication skills. This will enable children to become more fluent in their multiplication tables.
 
 
 PE -
 
PE sessions are subject to change - we would therefore appreciate it if your child's full PE kit (white t-shirt, navy shorts, trainers/plimsolls) is in all week.
