Autumn Term 2022

The topic this term is ‘Fire! Fire! Fire!’ Children will look at the events that surrounded the fire in London. They will use a variety of resources (diary extracts, pictures, computer images, information books etc.) to learn about the fire. There will be a focus on Samuel Pepys’ diary and how the fire spread. The children will learn about the dangers of fire and general fire safety. We hope the Fire Service will visit to talk to the children about the dangers of fire and how to keep safe. They will use maps in Geography to compare London then and now. In Music, they will learn about British folk music and they will explore the tempo, texture, duration, pitch, timbre, dynamics and structure of folk music. They will have the opportunity to experiment, compose and    perform a soundscape. In Art the children will create a sketch book to record and explore the theme of fire. They will explore ideas and will design, make and evaluate a clay tile. The children will also learn about how to make a ‘Tutti fruity jelly’. They will taste and evaluate products including their own made jelly. They will practise good hygiene rules and use utensils safely. Also this term, the children will learn about technology around them and how to adapt photos and images. They will learn how to stay safe when using the internet, by following the SMART rules.
