Welcome To

During the Summer Term, in geography, the children will be exploring the oceans of the world! As Oceanographers, the children will be exploring the impact of pollution and climate change within oceans and how this predominantly affects coastal regions. They will be proposing solutions as to how we can live sustainably in order to protect the marine biome. 

In history, the children will be learning about inequality, both in the UK and internationally and how it relates to current experiences. This will be a natural continuation of our other areas of historical learning this year (Victorians and Colonialism) and will include the study of significant individuals, such as: Emmeline Pankhurst, Emily Davison, Malala Yousafzai and Gandhi. 

In art, we will be creating our own individual pieces of expressionist artwork, taking inspiration from the greats such as Henri Matisse and Jean-Michael Basquiat. The children will develop a mood board of ideas which will accompany their own piece of artwork, enabling them to coherently express their inner feelings and emotions. 

As design technologists, we will be constructing some “spoonable” dips that can be eaten with tortilla chips. The children will apply their knowledge of cooking techniques and nutrition to list possible ingredients for their healthy dips. Afterwards, they will investigate their favourite flavours and create a recipe which is then taste tested, evaluated then modified based on feedback. 

Our memorable experiences will be educational visits to: The Madina Masjid Mosque in Sheffield and an exciting trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester which will be “out of this world”. We will also have the chance to experience seeing the world-renowned Halle Orchestra for our postponed spring trip to the City Hall.
