The Mystery on Sorcerer’s Shores

Y5   Mystery on Sorcerer's Shores

We’re going on a magical journey to find the gold hidden somewhere on Sorcerer’s Shores. This half term, a mysterious visitor will arrive to present us with artefacts from the island. Reading stories set in fantasy worlds will inspire our story openings. We’ll manipulate digital photographs, adding fantastical special effects. Our geography skills will improve as we look closely at maps of Sorcerer’s Shores, plotting routes and using coordinates. We’ll examine samples from the island, explore the properties of materials and experiment with changes of state. If we’re going to find gold, we’d better find out all about it! In English we’ll write soliloquies and poems inspired by the island’s magical powers and dramatic landscape. The coding programme Scratch will help us to plot and correct errors in our route, and we’ll use technology to create beautiful digital images. We’ll compose raps and use sound effects and mood music to reflect the atmosphere on Sorcerer’s Shores.

Our knowledge organisers show the children the content, facts and vocabulary within their topic and are used throughout to guide learning.
