Spring Term 2025

Welcome back everyone! I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year!
We are well and truly back into the swing of things and enjoying our new Geography unit all about North and Central America. We have also kick started our Science unit on Animals including Humans.

As a class we are reading our novel 'The Inheritance Games' written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. So far the story has left us asking many questions and left us wanting to know the answers.

Autumn Term 2024

We have some really exciting learning to be done this term. We will be focusing our History lessons on our theme of crime and punishment. This will allow us to look at various periods throughout history and compare these to modern day policing. To help support this topic of learning we will be immersing ourselves in high quality texts such as Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman and William Shakespeare's Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. As well as these fantastic texts we will be reading Holes by Louis Sachar as our class novel.

For more information about our Autumn term curriculum please see the topic web below.
