feelings, friendship.

Physical Development

Athletics learning the skills of

sprinting, javelin, shotput, relay,

long jump, triple jump. Chn are able

to develop and improve their

performances through practice.

Swimming- once per week

Mathematical development

Block E2Finding fractions of numbers, shapes and

quantities; recognise the equivalence between decimal and

fraction forms of one half, quarters, tenths and hundredths

Block A3 - Position one- and two-place decimals on a

number line; use written methods to record and explain

multiplication and division of two-digit numbers by a one-

digit number, including division with remainders; solve one

and two-step problems involving money and measures.

Block B3Use knowledge of rounding, number operations

and inverses to estimate and check calculations; visualise 3-

D objects from 2-D drawings; make nets of common solids;

identify the doubles of two-digit numbers; use these to

calculate doubles of multiples of 10 and 100 and derive the

corresponding halves

Block C3 - Use decimal notation to record measurements

(e.g. 1.3 m or 0.6 kg); interpret intervals and divisions on

partially numbered scales and record readings accurately,

where appropriate to the nearest tenth of a unit; reportsolutions to puzzles and problems, giving explanations and

reasoning orally and in writing, using diagrams and symbols

Key Questions & Ideas/ Creative Entry Point

Which countries are involved in the Olympics? What can you find out

about them?

Use Google Maps to create an online factsheet for these countries.

Create a photography exhibition on My London.

The Olympics

Year 4 - Summer 1

ICT

Control - Using an online program, Scratch, to create computer games.

Link to topic creating a computer game with monsters that catch/eat

other animals/creatures (Link to Anglo-Saxon story Beowulf set in

Scandinavia).

Photography Chn take photos using tablets and use a PicsArt app to edit

photos. They change the colours in the photos to create differentatmospheres, and choose a favourite for display. Chn explain the choices

they have made.

Google Maps Chn use Google Maps to share information with others.

Trips, visitors, events and displays

Dragonboat racing

Photography project around Hither Green for exhibition

Photography in Greenwich for persuasive leaflets

Archery workshop

Ukelele for Beech and Elm

Knowledge and understanding of the world (i ncluding RE,

geography, history, DT)

Geography/RE Chn use online and offline resources to

research information on a given country. They learn to locate

a range of countries on a globe/world map, and learn to use

maps to show information in different ways e.g.

temperature, location, landscape, food etc. They learn to

write information texts and then use Google Maps to share

information with others, by adding text to a map of their

chosen country. These maps are then shared using the

MLE/class blog.

DT Chn create a pop-up leaflet for their persuasive writing

on why people should visit London. They think carefully about

the best pop-up feature to use and explain their ideas. They

use trial and error to develop their leaflets for presentation.

Chn use recycled materials to make flags and add information

about their country to create bunting for the classroom.

Communication, language and literacy (including talking/speaking & listening, writing, reading, spelling,

handwriting, drama and links to other areas)

1) Stories from Other Cultures (3 weeks) Using Tales of

Wisdom and Wonder, chn explore stories from different

cultures. They look at the structure of short stories and

compare cultures and people. They take a character from one

culture and explore putting them into a different story. How

would the character react? Chn write their own short story

from a culture of their choice for a Creative Writing

exhibition in the partnership.

2) Information/Persuasive writing (4 weeks) Chn explore

information leaflets and tourist brochures. They learn

persuasive language and the layout of leaflets and posters. In

Geography, they create information texts about different

countries using Google Maps. In Literacy, they create a

leaflet entitled: Why come to London? Using photographs

theyve taken from Greenwich they describe a favourite part

of London to a tourist.

Science Friction

Chn learn to measure force using forcemeters, and use this to measure the

amount of friction on different surfaces. They discuss the advantages and

disadvantages of friction, also investigating water resistance and making

parachutes to demonstrate their understanding of air resistance.
