Geography:
Identify the position and significance of latitude,
longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern
Hemisphere, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn,
Arctic and Antarctic Circle, the Prime/Greenwich
Meridian and time zones (including day and night)
-use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer
mapping to locate countries and describe features
studied
Light: (Linked to blackouts)
-
Recognise that light appears to travel in
straight lines
- Use the idea that light travels in straight lines
to explain that objects are seen because they
give out or reflect light into the eye
- Explain that we see things because light
travels from light sources to our eyes or from
light sources to objects and then to our eyes
- Use the idea that light travels in straight lines
to explain why shadows have the same
shape as the objects that cast them.
Electricity: (Linked to Morse code machine)
- Associate the brightness of a lamp or the
volume of a buzzer with the number and
voltage of cells used in the circuit
- Compare and give reasons for variations in
how components function, including the
brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers
and the on/off position of switches
- Use recognised symbols when representing a
simple circuit in a diagram

Article 38: You have the right to protection and freedom
from war. Children under 15 cannot be forced to go into
the army or take part in war. (History)

record of who you are. No one should take this away from
you. (History- Identity cards)

Fiction:
CLPE book Goodnight Mr Tom:
Young Willie Beech is evacuated to the country as Britain stands
on the brink of the Second World War. A sad, deprived child, he
slowly begins to flourish under the care of old Tom Oakley - but
his new-found happiness is shattered by a summons from his
mother back in London . . .
Includes discursive and persuasive text ‘Should children be
evacuated?’
CLPE book Rose Blanche:
Rose Blanche was the name of a group of young German citizens who,
at their peril, protested against the war. Like them, Rose observes all
the changes going on around her which others choose to ignore. She
watches as the streets of her small German town fill with soldiers. One
day she sees a little boy escaping from the back of a truck, only to be
captured by the mayor and shoved back into it. Rose follows the truck
to a desolate place out of town, where she discovers many other
children, staring hungrily from behind an electric barbed wire fence.
She starts bringing the children food, instinctively sensing the need for
secrecy, even with her mother. Until the tide of the war turns and
soldiers in different uniforms stream in from the East, and Rose and
the imprisoned children disappear for ever

Maths:
Algebraic proficiency: using formulae:
Use simple formulae and convert between miles and kilometres
Proportional reasoning:
Solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts, solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be
found, Solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples
Pattern sniffing:
Generate and describe linear number sequences
Measuring space:
use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places
Investigating angles:
Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles
Calculating fractions, decimals and percentages:
Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions, multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form, divide proper fractions by
whole numbers, multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers, solve problems involving the calculation of percentages and the use of percentages for comparison
Solving equations and inequalities:
Enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables, express missing number problems algebraically and find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
Checking, approximating and estimating:
Solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy, use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy, round any
whole number to a required degree of accuracy
