English
We will start the term looking at the text Tin Forest - linked to our topic work. We will explore characters, settings and hidden meanings within the book before writing a persuasive letter. Following the Tin Forest, we will read the Iron Man by Ted Hughes and write a newspaper article based on the main character.
The grammatical focus we will be revising and learning:
Topic - Mighty Metals
Linked to our English work, we will begin the topic by exploring different forces including push, pull, gravity and friction. We will identify the force needed for different playground apparatus to work. From this, we will plan and design our own dream playground and write a letter convincing the council to build it in the local area. We will get creative using different materials to make carts and wind chimes. To end the topic, we will design and make the perfect friend for the Iron Man.
