Our Spring term topic is 'Around the World in 80 days'

In Geography, the children will locate countries and capitals, understand latitude and longitude, explore climate zones, and interpret map symbols. In History, they’ll discover the evolution of transport, learning about key figures like Nellie Bly and Gladys West. In Computing, children will engage with variables in games and spreadsheets. The PSHE curriculum covers health, online safety, and environmental issues. In Art, they’ll explore how artists express ideas through the use of scale. D&T will focus on evaluating and developing scone recipes, while in Music, they’ll develop improvisation and compositional skills through teamwork.

Our Autumn term topic is 'Pack Up Your Troubles'

Throughout the topic ‘Pack up your troubles’ the children will learn all about World War II. They will find out when, why and who was involved in World War II and will consider the effectiveness of different sources.  The children will develop an empathy for the life of an evacuee child and make links to the role that Shropshire played in the evacuation.  As part of the music curriculum, children will learn some songs from World War II and explore that counter melody is different to harmony.  During the second half of term, as part of their Geography, the children will study a standalone unit based on trade.  They will understand how the UK trades with other countries, the global supply chain and the importance of Fair Trade.   Finally, in DT, the children will design, make a paper template and learn how to sew a variety of stitches before making a felt phone case.
