Summer 1

Science– Properties and changes of materials Pupils should be taught to: • Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness,

WOW – make large playing cards, croquet outside,

solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets • Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a

substance from a solution • Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through

filtering, sieving and evaporating Outdoor day – make miniature Alice and setting

• Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday

materials, including metals, wood and plastic • Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes • Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not

usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the actions of acid on bicarbonate of Music/ recipe –

soda

Tea party baking (Jam tarts etc)

Artist/ painting

Alice in Wonderland!

• Experiment with contrasting colours and tones to give depth and perspective.

English extended

• Perspective drawings

writing: Famous person/ event: Lewis Carroll

Maths investigation Cups and saucers/ Seats at a table/ Handshakes

Who Stole the Tarts?

Objectives

Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating

Activities

Alice falls into Wonderland WOW day! croquet, make large card costume, play card games. Reading start of book; visualise what it looks like. Life of Lewis Carroll Read chapter one – pick

Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic Alice Grows Tall Grouping materials based on properties and sort into Carroll diagram – investigate materials ( wood, plastic plate, paper, sugar cube, plastic bottle, metal spoon, foil, sponge)

Tea party –

Queen of Hearts

Investigate irreversible changes, Bake cakes and look at how chocolate etc. is a reversible change

Set out ‘crime scene’ for who stole the tarts

Filter and sieve – our tea is ruined! Write an invitation Create a poster for

Court room scene – discussion about whether the nave ate the tarts

Retell story in own words. Character descriptions.

out language from Alice falling down the hole. (compare to ‘The Tunnel’) Draw pictures and write description of her thoughts, feelings, using similes. Write up onto spiral. What is behind the door? Write sentence openers and decorate door. Write description of what she saw when the opened the door. Art – create picture of door keyhole. (lift up flap to reveal garden picture) Drink me – write drink me riddles Investigate soluble materials and dissolving in water. Paper mache bottles and paint, write riddle on label.

Art – perspective drawing of Alice in the house.

Alice in the house – What are houses made of? Compare different materials and investigate properties of materials. Alice’s falls in a puddle – what materials would keep her dry? Compare everyday materials for how waterproof they are. How do things dry? Investigate evaporation.
