Around the world there are lots of different languages and ways of communicating. One of the ways that people communicate without talking, is by using Makaton. Makaton is using signs and symbols so that people communicate with movements rather than words. See

Document 4, which includes many Makaton signs. Practise some of these and use them where possible.

Geography

Queen Victoria was the first monarch to rule from Buckingham Palace. There are other interesting buildings that are related to

previous kings and queens of England e.g. The Tower of London.

Research many of the landmarks and find examples of Human and Physical geography in London. Use the information you find to

create your own advertising poster to draw people to the area for a holiday.

Art/ D&T

During this term our artist is L.S. Lowry. He was a significant artist during the time of WW2, which will be our topic after half-term. Your task is to create a fact file about L.S. Lowry and his art work. Consider the following carefully: the colours he uses, the style

of his artwork; other artists he’s similar to and if there is anything that is similar about all of his pieces

of work.

HistoryUntil February half-term we are continuing to study The Victorians. The Victorians were influential in developing new modes of transport. Watch

the video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z4fvr82

Then, research one of the modes of transport spoken about in the video and create a poster which explores the impact of that transport, the main inventors involved in developing it and how it has changed from then to

now.

the office.
