Through the Ages
In our first topic, your child will deepen their understanding of the history of Britain. They will start by going back to the Stone Age, venture through to the Bronze Age, then finally, discover the Iron Age. Throughout all three, they will learn how they started and compare their daily lives to that of their own. Your child will use historical sources to find out what the settlements were like and research historical monuments. They will also spend time learning how each civilization has aided the development of Britain by new inventions and technology. Your child will finally explore the causes of the ending of each time period.
Science
In our science topic, Animal Nutrition and the Skeletal System, your child will learn all about their own skeleton and that of different animals. They will learn how different animals require different diets, and will explore the reasons for this, and also how diets change with the seasons. Your child will have the opportunity to investigate fats in different foods. After learning about nutrition, your child will then move on to learning the importance of their skeleton and how it protects their organs. They will then go on to learn how their muscles support their movements. Throughout this topic, your child will also be developing investigational skills and understanding how to conduct fair tests.
PE Kit
PE kits consists of a white top, dark shorts/skirt, pumps/trainers, dark jumper and dark jogging bottoms, not leggings. Please ensure that your child has a comfortable spare pair of shoes for outdoor PE (as their others may be muddy or wet from being outside). If your child has their ears pierced, please provide tape or ensure they can remove their own earrings. Pupils should come to school wearing their PE kit on PE days.
Our PE Days are Monday and Friday.
