Mrs Sullivan

Autumn Term 2025

We start the term by learning all about settlements and what resources are needed to make them sustainable. We shall then move onto the Roman’s and the spread of the Roman Empire. Researching significant events such as Boudicca’s Rebellion and the building of the network of roads around the UK. 

Following the Literacy Tree scheme in English, we shall be starting the term by reading The Baker by the Sea by Paula White, which is based on a true story about her grandfather. We shall explore the roles within a small fishing village and write our own tourist brochure.  For our reading comprehension we shall be ready The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis and venture into the wonders of Narnia.  

In Maths, we shall be securing place value knowledge before moving onto using all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to answer more complex questions and problem solving. There will also be a huge focus on learning all 12 multiplication tables, which helps children develop understanding in all aspects of mathematics. 

Science will be investigating states of matter to understand what variables can cause some materials can change states.   

In art, we are sketching real life objects, with an autumnal theme then in design & technology the children will get the chance to create their own flavour bread based on ingredients available during the Roman era. 

P.E. will include sports such as basketball, tennis and fitness activities to stay healthy. Lessons will normally take place on Tuesday and Friday afternoon.

We also have Essex Music Services teaching the whole class to play the ukulele till the end of November.
