This project has a history focus and teaches children about life

in the 1960s including significant social, cultural and political

events of the time. At the heart of this project the children will

learn how to write scripts and will develop additional skills in

writing newspaper reports of historical events.

In the Innovative Stage children apply their skills and

understanding by producing a documentary programme on the

theme of Space and the first Moon landing.

In this project the children will learn:

• About the Moon, the Sun and other planets of the solar system;

• How to order things chronologically;

• About musical culture and influences of the 1960s;

• About significant historical figures and events of the 1960s;

• How to use a range of artistic skills to create ‘Pop Art’;

• How to use ICT to source information and present their

findings;
• How to write scripts.

Week 1: We started our topic by going to the Beatle's Museum in Liverpool. We had a tour, found out about records, the 'Fab Four's' life, dressed up in groovy sixties clothes and went in a yellow submarine!
Week 2: Bendigedig pawb! A wonderful Eisteddfod on Tuesday! The class also wrote inspiring and powerful speeches about their dreams for the future based on Martin Luther King. Well done, you certainly moved me!

WEEKLY HOMEWORK

Spellings will be given out and tested once a week on Tuesday. Homework is to be returned on Friday.

Reading is also included as part of the children’s homework. We expect them to read on a daily basis at home. A record of this needs to be kept in their planner and will be checked regularly.

Maths - Your child has a personal password for MyMaths and Abacus. They will be set homework on these sites once a week. It will be set on Friday and checked on Monday. There will be a mental maths and times table test each Tuesday.

News – On Monday your child needs to have notes on a news article that has interested them through the week. The notes need to enable them to write their own report in their own words on Monday morning.
