Year 3
Tomb Raiders is the Year 3 Summer topic based on the Ancient Egyptians.
Children will be delving into the history of the ancient civilisation by visiting the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and by handling both authentic and replica artefacts! As well as making their own Egyptian glossaries, in literacy the children will create their own spooky story about an Egyptian mummy come-to-life!
Throughout this term our class reader will be The Breakfast Club Investigators: The Beast Beyond the Fence by Marcus Rashford; an excellent book filled with mystery and suspense.

Year 4
This Summer Term, Year 4 is diving into an action-packed adventure with our thrilling topic: Glorious Glevum! Get ready to step back in time as we uncover the secrets of the Rotten Roman, how they invaded, conquered, and ruled over most of Europe! Our class reader, ‘Twitch,’ will take us on an exciting journey alongside other captivating texts that will expand our vocabulary and learning. In Science, we’ll be exploring fascinating topics like teeth, the digestive system, and food chains, unlocking the mysteries of how our bodies work! But that’s not all! We have an unforgettable Roman Day planned, where children will get hands-on with Roman battle formations, make and enjoy delicious pizzas outdoors (weather permitting), and fully immerse themselves in the Roman way of life. And for an extra dose of adventure, we’re hoping to take a trip to Slimbridge Wetlands Centre, tying in perfectly with both ‘Twitch’ and our science learning. It’s going to be an epic term full of discovery, fun, and unforgettable experiences!

Year 6
Our topic this term is Science and geography based, as we explore the life and work of the pioneering naturalist, geologist and biologist Charles Darwin. We will investigate the history of the discovery of the evolution of life: exploring the work of the incredible scientists who came before Darwin and how their amazing discoveries and work allowed Darwin to develop his theory over time. We will move on to the classification and identification of animals based on their characteristics, and see how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understanding that these adaptations may lead to evolution. We will be able to recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, and will have features inherited from the parents, but are not identical and vary from each other. Finally, we will explore how fossils are created and how they provided us with evidence of what lived on the Earth millions of years ago and provided evidence to support the theory of evolution. In Geography, we will follow in the footsteps of Darwin and travel to the spell-binding Galapagos Islands – the volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean considered one of the world’s foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing.
