History |
History of the Liverpool Docks Children will look at artefacts from a Victorian Docker’s suitcase, and discuss what they tell us about the past. They will learn about the early years of the Liverpool Docks and how they expanded quickly to become a key point of global trade. They will look at what life would have been like as a Victorian Docker and compare life for poor and rich Scousers, including evaluating the evidence that they leave behind. They will develop a chronological understanding of what happened at the docks in the past 300 years. They will then look at how the Docks fell into disrepair but were regenerated in the late 1980s to create the Docks that they are currently familiar with. Can use research skills in finding out facts about the time period Are able to research what it was like for specific people, eg, the dockers and their families. Begin to compare and contrast different forms of evidence Begin to describe changes that have happened in the locality of the school throughout history Can understand why Liverpool Docks were so important for global trade Can place events on a timeline using dates Are beginning to understand the concept of change over time, representing this along with evidence on a timeline Understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources Are beginning to describe different accounts of history, explaining some of the reasons why the accounts may differ Can communicate ideas about the past using other areas of the curriculum. |

Art |
Making a Sunglasses Case We will be designing and making a sunglasses case using Textiles. We will investigate existing products to create a specification, practising some sewing skills, create an accurate sketch of our design, related to the purpose, audience and specification, creating our sunglasses case using a template and joining pieces together, before finally evaluating our product. Create a specification of the range of needs that the product must have. Investigate a range of products to see how they work. Overstitch, backstitch, threading a needle, making a knot. Use models, words and pictures in an accurate sketch. Design own template and add pattern pieces. Join materials using an overstitch or a backstitch. Make own template and pattern piece. Recognise what they have done well and suggest what they would do better in the future and why. |

Computing |
E-Safety Develop children’s understanding of staying safe when using technology including when communicating online. Big Robots (Computer Science) The project will reinforce an understanding of directional language and programming. The children will create their own algorithm in the form of a flow chart.
