Useful Websites:

Our exciting superhero topic is history based and we will be using lots of non fictional research through books, websites and photographs to help us discover more about the past. The children will learn more about the famous individual Florence Nightingale and the brave soldiers she helped to save. We will be linking history with cross curricular areas such as Art where the children will use collage to make lanterns like the one Florence Nightingale used and design and make a hero medal for her work. In D.T the children will design and make their own superhero wooden spoon puppets. P.E will also link with superheroes where the children will learn to create dances and poses within the superhero theme. Geography will link to where we live, as they learn about the country and continent that we live in. We will also look at our class country Peru in greater depth and compare the countries. R.E will focus on ‘Giving Thanks to the Good Earth’ as we focus on Harvest celebration and link this with our school visit to the farm where we will meet the superheroes that grow and harvest our wonderful food. In computing, we will be developing word processing skills to support the wider topic learning and extending our understanding of how to navigate simple programmes to learn more about our history topic. Music will allow the children to explore different sounds that can be made with body percussion and they will learn and compose their own superhero songs. English key texts will follow the superhero theme as we read about the amazing adventures of ‘Traction Man’ and ‘Superworm’. This will closely feed into our science where we will be investigating different materials and their properties as we design superhero suits and gadgets for Traction man and superworm.
