Life, Love & Literature

For Sam focus remains on Maths and Eng­lish, with every­thing else being mopped up with project work.

He will join Jack to study French and Latin.

I toyed with a more for­mal approach to Sci­ence but the book I bought looked bor­ing so think we’ll stick to projects, join­ing in with Jack’s prac­ti­cal work and ad hoc investigations.

Maths

We’ll con­tinue to work through a com­bi­na­tion of Schofield and Sims and Heinemann.

Eng­lish

We’ll con­tinue with An Ordi­nary Parent’s Guide to Teach­ing Reading

We’ll use Schofield and SIms for hand­writ­ing, spelling and com­pre­hen­sion practice

And Devel­op­ing Lit­er­acy work­sheets for other aspects of Eng­lish includ­ing cre­ative writing

Latin

Both boys will be work­ing together on Minimus.

French

These books are excel­lent because they work along­side each other.  The books address the same themes in the same order, but obvi­ously the work in Book 1 is more in depth than that in the Ele­men­tary book.  This means we can study the main ideas and vocab together but boys can work at their own level.

Music

I hope to do a bit of music appre­ci­a­tion using this

Art

We will look at dif­fer­ent artis­tic works and pro­duce pieces inspired by them.

Project work

We will con­tinue to work through Evan Moor’s Ancient Civ­i­liza­tion His­tory pockets

We also hope to look at

Dinosaurs

Ancient Greece (in more detail than the His­tory pocket)

Space

Ancient Rome (in more detail than the His­tory pocket)

Human Body

British Monachy

Olympics

Lon­don

But will go with the flow to some extent.
