Printing Techniques

Discover the different techniques used to create printed artwork and why printing matters.

✓ Printing is the process of transferring a design from one surface to another, allowing it to be repeated.

✓ Relief printing (like lino printing) involves cutting away areas so the raised surface holds the ink.

📊 🔢 Maths

Statistics: Charts and Graphs

Learn how to collect, display and interpret data using charts, graphs and key statistics.

✓ Statistics is the collection, organisation and interpretation of data (information).

✓ Bar charts, pictograms, pie charts and line graphs are all ways of displaying data visually.

🌤️ 🌍 Geography

Weather and Seasons

Discover what causes the UK’s four seasons and how meteorologists measure the weather.

✓ Weather is the day-to-day condition of the atmosphere; climate is the average weather pattern over many years.

✓ The UK has four seasons — spring, summer, autumn and winter — caused by Earth's tilt as it orbits the sun.

📖 📖 English

Planning and Structuring Stories

Learn how to plan and structure a story with a beginning, problem and satisfying ending.

✓ Most stories follow a structure: opening, build-up, problem (conflict), resolution and ending.

✓ The opening introduces the setting and characters; the problem creates tension that drives the story forward.

🔤 📖 English

Prefixes and Suffixes

Discover how adding prefixes and suffixes to root words creates new words and meanings.

✓ A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning (e.g. un- + happy = unhappy).

✓ A suffix is added to the end of a word (e.g. play + -ful = playful; care + -less = careless).

💰 🔢 Maths

Money and Decimals

Learn to work with pounds and pence, and calculate totals and change.

✓ In British currency, there are 100 pence in one pound (£1.00 = 100p).

✓ Amounts of money are written with two decimal places — the digits after the decimal point represent pence.

🧲 🔬 Science

Forces and Magnets

Discover how forces act on objects and explore the push and pull of magnets.

✓ A force is a push or pull that can change the speed, direction or shape of an object.

✓ Magnets attract magnetic materials (iron, steel, nickel and cobalt) and can attract or repel other magnets.

🌍 🌍 Geography

Climate Zones

Explore Earth’s five climate zones and discover what shapes the world’s weather.

✓ The Earth has five main climate zones: tropical, dry, temperate, continental and polar.

✓ Climate zones are determined mainly by distance from the equator — areas near the equator are hottest.

🖊️ 📖 English

Similes and Metaphors

Learn the difference between similes and metaphors and how to use them powerfully.

✓ A simile compares two things using the words 'like' or 'as' (e.g. as brave as a lion).

✓ A metaphor describes something as if it actually is something else, without using 'like' or 'as' (e.g. the classroom was a zoo).

🕐 🔢 Maths

Telling the Time

Learn to read analogue and digital clocks and solve problems involving time.

✓ There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

✓ A 12-hour clock uses am (midnight to midday) and pm (midday to midnight); a 24-hour clock runs from 00:00 to 23:59.

🎵 🎵 Music

Pitch and Dynamics

Explore how pitch and dynamics shape the feel and expression of music.
