We are having a great start to the new academic year, settling into new routines and preparing for a fantastic term

This summer term our history focus is looking at Crime and Punishment through the ages.  During this unit we will be investigating different crimes and their punishments during different stages of history.

In geography we will be looking at Shrewsbury and the enquiry question 'How has the River Severn influenced Shrewsbury?'

Our English lessons this year will based on two fantastically immersive books, FaRther by Grahame Baker-Smith and Rescuing Titanic by Flora Delargy. We will have a look at writing a short narrative, diary, a persuasive letter and poetry based on these stories.

Our class novel will be Holes by Louis Sachar.

In Science our topic is Living Things and their Habitats.. As part of this topic we will be looking at reproduction of plants and reproduction of asexual living things.  In addition, we will be exploring life cycles of insects, amphibians, birds and mammals.
