Dinosaur Planet History This half term, we’ll visit a museum, look closely at ancient fossils and study reptiles to understand how dinosaurs may have lived and eventually died out. We’ll learn about the great fossil hunter, Mary Anning, and follow in her footsteps, studying dinosaur teeth and bones to find out what dinosaurs liked to eat. Learning dinosaur names, creating puzzling riddles, writing fantastic fact files and creating exciting dinosaur stories are some of the other activities we’ll be involved in this half term. |

This half term, we will explore the world of computing by learning what algorithms are and how they are used on digital devices. Children will understand that programs follow clear, precise instructions and will use logical reasoning to predict what simple programs will do. They will use technology purposefully to create, organise, store and retrieve digital content, while also learning about the different ways information technology is used beyond school. |
