Planning for the new term.

I love the start of a new school year. The planning. What shall we study this term, gathering resources, brain storming activiites. I love it.
For maths we're studying shape - 2D and 3D shapes, area, perimetre, angles etc.
Last term i made a lot of educational games. So I might make a shape lotto game up this term. Chloe also wants to something out of salt dough; so we might make up some 3D beads for jewellry. Check out salt dough maps - I found it on the net while looking for some salt dough ideas. They look FAB!
For English we're be looking at The Great Plague. This will link into out history topic 17th century London. I have a book already planned for Chloe to read. It's a diary account of the plague. So a little different to what we normally read. Then I'm going to link in letter writing, stories, poems etc.
For history we're studying 17th century London. This topic has just grown and grown. But alot happened in those 100 years!!! Civil war, plague, fire, the gun powder plot. Our civil war lapbooks are really coming on. I will post pictures once they are complete.
For science we are looking at micro-organisms (germs!) Which will link into the plague and the great fire (bread and yeast) We might try to make the bakery in Pudding Lane out of a box or we might make a scene from London during the fire. Too many ideas, swirling around my head. LOL
For RE, we're continuing our work on Jesus' miracles. We started this last term but it just didn't take off. (Busy time of year with exams!!!)
At first we're going to make a 2D paper sculpture. But now I'm leaning more towards the idea of making a tile for each miracle and then linking them together somehow???
Like I said too many ideas in my head...
