Areas of Learning

Learning Experiences (Pupils will…)

Language and Literacy

Talking and Listening

·       Sustain conversations linked to the Titanic WAU topic with other pupils in the classroom and adults.

·       Show understanding by making relevant comments or asking relevant questions.

·       Follow the main points of a discussion and be able to recall the points in order.

Spellings

·       Consolidate pupil’s existing phonological knowledge and introduce new spelling patterns: <-ation>, <ch> and <che> for /sh/, <sure>, <ture>, <-ible> and <-ate>.

·       Read the spelling words with pupils, giving context and definitions of them, asking pupils to highlight the target sound.

Reading

·       Independently use reading strategies during whole class work, small group guided reading and independent activities in the context of WAU topic Titanic and in class novel The Iron Man.

Writing – Recounts and News Reports

·       Write the first chapter of a passenger’s recount using descriptive language.

·       Write the second chapter of a passenger’s recount, creating suspense.

·       Write the final chapter of a passenger’s recount focusing on the change of mood.

·       Script and prepare a televised news report to tell the story of the Titanic disaster.

·       Film and edit together a news report.

·       Edit report scripts into a written newspaper report noting key differences.

Mathematics and Numeracy

Measures – Converting Units

·       Read, write, and recognise all metric measures for length, mass, and capacity.

·       Develop their estimation skills in context and decide when it is appropriate to use different metric units of measure.

·       Choose the units of measure that would be the most appropriate to measure the items.

·       Estimate how much juice the glass holds and estimate the height of the door frame.

Shape and Space – Perimeter, Area and Volume

·       Explore that shapes with the same area can have the same or different perimeters.

·       Find and draw rectilinear shapes that have the same areas.

·       Use their knowledge of factors to draw rectangles with different areas.

·       Identify that a right-angled triangle with the same length and perpendicular height as a rectangle will have an area half the size.

·       Use the formula (base x perpendicular height ÷ 2) to calculate the area of a variety of triangles where different side lengths are given and where more than one triangle make up a shape.

·       Investigate the link between the area of a rectangle and parallelogram by cutting a parallelogram so that it can be rearranged into a rectangle.

Statistics

·       Understand that line graphs represent continuous data and not discrete data.

·       Read information accurately, including where more than one set of data is on the same graph.

·       Understand how to calculate fractions of amounts to interpret simple pie charts.

The World Around Us

Titanic

·       Discuss and explore the timeline of the Titanic and her maiden voyage from Southampton.

·       Investigate sources of information which tell us about the Titanic and the people on board.

·       Evaluate what life was like aboard the Titanic for each of the different passenger classes.

·       Recall the efforts that were made to raise the Titanic’s wreckage from the Atlantic Ocean.

·       Plot the course of the Titanic, including the point that it sank and identify key areas for icebergs.

·       Investigate what an iceberg is and why they float.

·       Observe why a ship floats but a paper clip sinks i.e., buoyancy.

·       Use perspective and foreshortening to create a painting of the Titanic.

·       Explore the use of colours to create effects and mood.

·       Create a 3D model of the Titanic using recycled materials or other materials such as Lego.

·       Reflect on what has changed since the Titanic disaster and how the incident influenced these changes.
