Art – Typography
This pathway aims to give pupils the opportunity to explore the work of designers who work with font and typography. Pupils go on to create their own typography and develop their skills further in a visual map project.
Design and Technology – Making a stuffed toy
This half term, the children will design a Christmas themed stuffed toy, considering the main component shapes of their toy. They will then create an appropriate template for their stuffed toy. They will be using various decorative stitches to sew pieces of fabric together and then use appliqués or decorative stitching to decorate the front of their stuffed toy.
French – Space Exploration
This unit transports children into space, developing their scientific vocabulary as well as their grammar. Pupils develop their listening and language detective skills, use figurative language and develop their sentence structure by adding adjectives, using prepositions and making simple adjectival comparisons.
Every week, homework will be set on a Friday and will be due in on Wednesday.
