In Maths this term, we have been firming up our place value knowledge and having fun as we master and articulate our knowledge and understanding.  

Religious Education (RE)

Just because we can, does it mean we should?

Within our lessons, we are drawing upon our knowledge and understanding of different religious beliefs to examine different moral dilemmas.

Music

Which element of music is more important?

Developing our aural recognition of different instruments, we are developing our understanding of what different time signatures sound like so that we are able to listen to and appraise music. By doing this, and listening to different vocal pieces – which range from medieval to modern – we will explore the big question: which element of music is more important?
