Spring 2 IPC PROJECT : Buildings and Journeys

What's the big idea?

Imagine if there were no cars, bicycles, buses, boats, trains or scooters. By being able to get around, we are able to get to places which would be too far to walk to. What about the structures that we pass by on journeys. What are they made from? What is their purpose? What do you notice about their shapes? What can be done to make them stronger? Buildings shape our landscapes, and our lives.  

Entry Point:  28th February 2019 – Bring in a mode of transport! Does your child own scooter, a bike or a toy car?  (details to follow!) 

Exit Point:  4th April 2019 – A local walk to sketch buildings and transport in our environment. Helpers welcome!

  • History

    We will be developing our understanding of:

    • How transport has changed over time.
  • GEOGRAPHY

    We will be developing our understanding of:

    • Local homes and buildings 
    • Homes from around the world
    • Local and famous London buildings and their uses
  • TECHNOLOGY

    We will know:

    • Lots of different modes of transport, including fictional ones!

    We will be developing our understanding of:

    • Planning, designing and making something 
  • SCIENCE

    We will be developing our understanding of:

    • Sorting and catagorising
    • How things fly
  • Maths

    We will be working on….

    • Measurement of weight, length and capacity
    • Full, quarter, half and three quarter turns
    • Addition and subtraction within 100
    • Multiplication of 2s, 5s and 10s. 
  • English

    We will learn a traditional tale and use our own ideas to innovate and write a story, using a classic structure.  We will role play our stories using story language for added interest. 

    We will continue to practise handwriting every day – making sure our letters are the right size and that sentences have the correct punctuation.

    We will continue to improve our SPaG knowledge, skills and understanding, in particular: capital letters and full stops.

Home Learning

2 home learning tasks are set every week :

Task Given out Due Back
Mathletics Thursday Tuesday
Phonics / Spelling Thursday Tuesday

Remember:

  • to read to a grown-up every day
  • practice your phonics

Dates of Project Homelearning: 

Continue to work through the activities in the new grid in your child’s homelearning book. You only need to choose one activity per week. Not all of the activities need to be completed. Please enjoy! 

Mathletics is a great way to work on maths at home. Logins are in the front of their Reading Journals. 

Please keep enjoying books with your child. Ask them lots of questions throughout to support their understanding of the text. The children still benefit greatly from being read to by an adult as well.

Things to remember

We do P.E. twice a week. We choose two hour slots on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays. 

P.E is on:

  •  Mondays for Hydra 1
  •  Tuesdays for Hydra 2  
  •  Wednesdays for both classes
  1. Remember to have your P.E kits in for both these days (including plimsoles).
  2. Make sure you have leggings or tracksuit bottoms as we will be outside for P.E unless it is raining.

  3. PE kits should be in school at all times.

School PE uniform is black shorts (or tracksuit bottoms) with a white t-shirt. PE kits should be in school at all times.
