Literacy / Science / History / Art and Design / Computing / PSHE / REWk 1 / Poetry using your senses. Poetry based on a theme.
Stunning start: Universe jars!!
Recite poetry.
Set the scene role play, NASA mission. / Forces that make things move.
Talk about what we know & what we would like to find out. Understand that forces make things move. Revise forces as pushes & pulls & make things speed up & slow down / Has any one ever been to the moon and how do we know? / Space buggy - pictures to investigate. / Role play algorithms.
Buzz Light Year and the claw / Heath and Wellbeing. Focus on feelings and being apart from family (loss). Family networks. Personal hygiene and spread of diseases. / Creation story, space. sustainability (how can we support God’s world).
Wk 2 / Fiction book e.g Alien’s love underpants, Beegu, The way back home.
Alien words for phonics, additional focus to phonics lessons. / Force Detectives.
Be force detectives, walk round school and identify different forces in action. / Why did Neil Armstrong risk his life to go on the moon? / Design the space buggy / Unplugged computing algorithms moving from position to another, following simple instructions. Buzz Light Year and the claw / Heath and Wellbeing. Focus on feelings and being apart from family (loss). Family networks. Personal hygiene and spread of diseases. / Creation story, space. sustainability (how can we support God’s world).
Wk 3 / Fiction book e.g Alien’s love underpants, Beegu, The way back home.
Alien words for phonics, additional focus to phonics lessons. / Forces that change shape (alien goo).
Understand that forces can change the shape of objects. Use scientific vocabulary with confidence. Explore different materials to see how they change shape when forces are exerted. Play a game using alien goo/slime. / How did they journey to the moon and back? / Make the space buggy / Unplugged computing algorithms moving from position to another, instructions. Creating their own simple instructions. Buzz Light Year and the claw / Heath and Wellbeing. Focus on feelings and being apart from family (loss). Family networks. Personal hygiene and spread of diseases. / Creation story, space. sustainability (how can we support God’s world).
Wk 4 / Non chronological report / Space buggy on ramp different heights.
Understand what makes a test fair and how to measure accurately. First of 3 investigations using space buggies. As a class investigate what happens if you change the height of a ramp. / What happened when the eagle landed? / Continue to make the space buggy. Build and improve structure and mechanisms. / Unplugged computing algorithms moving from position to another, instructions. Using repeated commands Buzz Light Year and the claw / Heath and Wellbeing.
