Wider Curriculum

Below is an outline of the key learning in some of our wider curriculum areas. 

In History we will be learning about who Richard Arkwright was and how he was important in putting Preston 'on the map'. We will find out about his invention, the water frame and how this impacted on the cotton industry. We will also find out some information about Tulketh Mill.

In Science we will recap the names of the parts of a plant before moving onto investigating what plants need to grow. We will plan simple tests to investigate whether plants do need water, light and warmth and will make predictions and write conclusions using the results. We will also plant seeds and will observe their growth over time.

In D.T. we will be exploring different types of structures before designing, making and evaluating a minature playground. We will learn how to join materials and stiffen them to make them stronger.

In PSHE we are discussing people who help to keep us safe, situations where we might not feel safe and how we could call for help.

In PE our topic is games. 

In R.E. we are learning about the religion of Islam. We will be learning about the rituals of Salat such as wudu. We will find out about where, how and why Muslims pray. 

In Computing we will be using Purple Mash to learn about pictograms.
