Welcome to Cygnus Crew!

We are excited to begin a brand-new term with Cygnus Crew! Term One is all about getting to know one another, building positive relationships and developing a strong sense of teamwork. Through a range of team-building activities, group challenges and discussions, we will learn how to communicate, collaborate and support each other as we begin our journey together.

Alongside this, we have a busy and exciting curriculum ahead of us!

Term One

In Maths, we will be developing our confidence with place value, ratio and algebra, using our problem-solving skills and applying our learning to a variety of challenges.

In English, we will be studying DNA by Dennis Kelly. We will explore the characters, themes and key events within the play, developing our skills of analysis and discussion. We will then put our creativity and communication skills into action by planning and producing our very own podcasts.

Our Science learning will take us inside the human body as we investigate the skeletal system and our major organs, discovering how different parts of the body work together to keep us moving and functioning.

In Computing, our focus will be E-Safety, helping us develop the knowledge and skills needed to use technology and the internet safely, responsibly and confidently.

In History, we will travel back in time to investigate the Battle of Lincoln, exploring what happened, who was involved and why this important event deserves a place in our local and national history.

Finally, in French, we will be building our vocabulary and learning how to put words and phrases together to create increasingly fluent sentences, helping us become more confident French speakers.

It promises to be a fantastic first term filled with learning, creativity, teamwork and new challenges. We can’t wait to see what Cygnus Crew achieves together!
