ART |
Sculpture – experimenting, form, materials Plan and create a sculpture. Evaluate own and others work using artistic language. Artists, architects and designers in history Continuously refer back to artists, architects and designers in history for inspiration and comparison. Greek Architecture |
|
Drawing – line, texture, depth Experimenting with shading and perspective to create form and texture. Begin to develop the use of a sketch book to record observations. |
Materials – texture, materials experimenting Using the work of a designer from history as inspiration children develop their own designs. |
Artists, architects and designers in history Continuously refer back to artists, architects and designers in history for inspiration and comparison. Egyptian Architecture |
Painting – colour development Work with peers to recreate a well-known piece or an element of the piece of a well-known artist. Using original as success criteria. Critically evaluate work against knowledge and understanding of ‘harmonious colours’ and ‘contrasting colours’ |
|
DT |
Understanding contexts, users and purposes Confidently work within a range of contexts. Indicate the design features of their products that will appeal to intended users. Develop their own success criteria and use these to inform their ideas.
|
Food preparation, cooking and nutrition Prepare and cook a variety of predominately savoury dishes using and range of cooking techniques. That recipes can be adapted to change the appearance, taste, texture and aroma. To use a range of techniques such as peeling, chopping, slicing, grating, mixing, spreading, kneading and baking. Generating, developing, modelling and communicating ideas Use annotated sketches and exploded diagrams to develop and communicate their ideas.
|
Generating, developing, modelling and communicating ideas Share and clarify ideas through discussions and presenting ideas. Model ideas using prototypes and pattern pieces. Use annotated sketches and exploded diagrams to develop and communicate their ideas. Make design decisions taking account of constraints such as time, resources and cost. Making products work Understand and use mechanical systems in their products. For example gears, pulleys, cams, leavers and linkages. Apply understanding of how to strengthen, stiffen and reinforce more complex structures. |
|
Making products work How to program a computer to monitor changes in the environment and control their product. Own ideas and products Identify the strengths and areas for development in their ideas and products. Consider the views of others, including intended users, to improve their work. Evaluate their ideas and products against their original design specification. Food preparation, cooking and nutrition Prepare and cook a variety of predominately savoury dishes using and range of cooking techniques. That recipes can be adapted to change the appearance, taste, texture and aroma. To use a range of techniques such as peeling, chopping, slicing, grating, mixing, spreading, kneading and baking. Generating, developing, modelling and communicating ideas Use annotated sketches and exploded diagrams to develop and communicate their ideas.

With greater independence select tools and equipment suitable for the task. Select materials and components suitable for the task. Explain and justify the choice of materials and components according to functional properties and aesthetic quality. Accurately measure, mark out, cut and shape materials and components. Generate innovate ideas drawing on research. |

To use and understand stave and other musical notations Experiment with, create select and combine sounds using the inter-related dimensions of music Outcome: to recognise and use standard notation to record simple compositions on a blank stave. Explore rhythm through written crotchet and quaver notes. |
To play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression Outcome: to Perform in solo/ ensemble contexts using a variety of techniques, confidently, expressively and in tune. (tempo/ duration/ texture). |
To use and understand staff and other musical notations Improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the inter-related dimensions of music Outcome: to explore the use of musical symbols to show dynamics. (p,f,pp,ff, crescendo, diminuendo, staccato) To record given notes on a blank stave. (treble cleff- middle C- top C)
|
