Next Week at Hill West
Key Question: What was so revolutionary about the industrial revolution?
Key Text for Linked Learning: Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Linked Learning: English, History
This week in History, children will be learning about the key features of a Victorian society. In
which, they will explore the reign of Queen Victoria, the British Empire, how the industrial
revolution began and the resulting population increase – and its consequence on living conditions
and crime. Linking to their work in History, in English lessons, children will read the story of Oliver
Twist and what life could have been like for children during the Victorian era. They will explore life
in the workhouses and empathise with characters. Helping them build their contextual vocabulary,
which will be used when writing a diary entry next week. Also, to get a sense of setting, using the
grammatical devices they have been taught so far this year, they will write a short setting
description of London in 1837.
Maths: This week in maths children will be looking at, and comparing, decimals, percentages and
their relationships to fractions. They will learn to convert fractions to equivalent fractions where
the denominator is 100 in order to find the percentage equivalent.
Science: In Science, children will continue learning about Evolution and inheritance and how
human beings have evolved over time. They will identify adaptive traits in humans as a species,
describe the known stages of human evolution and compare modern humans with members of the
same genus and family.
Humanities: See above.
Creative Arts: Children will be working on their Christmas calendars and decorations.
PDW / R.E: Children will learn to beware how the media can portray body image and the impact
this can have on their idea of ‘normal’ and its implications on their mental health.
P.E: In PE, children will take part in handball. They will take part in competitive games modified
where appropriate and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending. They will learn
to recognise the importance of planning, thinking and adapting in an outdoor situation to support
their team.
