Literacy - November - December 2024
Language & Literacy – In this half term we will be studying:
Talking and Listening
· talk about what they are learning, how the work was carried out and some aspect that might be improved
· sustain purposeful conversation and reflect on participation and contributions

· understand dramatic conventions including:
- the conventions of scripting (e.g. stage directions, asides)
- how character can be communicated in words and gesture
- how tension can be built up through pace, silences and delivery
Writing (At appropriately differentiated levels)
· write new scenes or characters into a story, in the manner of the writer, maintaining consistency of character and style, using paragraphs to organise and develop detail
· write scenes for a play applying conventions learned from reading and role play
· annotate a section of playscript as a preparation for performance, taking into account pace, movement, gesture and delivery of lines and the needs of the audience
· evaluate the script and the performance for their dramatic interest and impact
World Around Us - November - December 2024

Some of the activities we will be involved in are:
1. Carry out research on Harry Ferguson to create a Power Point.
2. Visit a farm.

4. To know how weather and climate change affects farming.
5. Collect different soil samples from the area. Carry out an experiment to see which soils are best for growing.
6. Separate soil samples in water to learn how we improve soil for the growth of crops.
7. Grow winter veg.
8. Identify and describe the different functions of the parts of flowering plants.
9. Find out which parts of plant we eat e.g. parsnips are the root of a plant.
10. Learn about the journey of foods from farm to our plates.
