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
This term we travel back in time and across Europe to explore the Middle East during the Golden Age of ancient Islamic civilisation. Once familiarising ourselves with a timeline of historical periods and using our map skills to locate the countries of the Middle East, we will be learning about the daily lives, achievements and legacy of this Golden Age.
In addition to this, we will be taking a trip a little closer to home, as we learn about the life-changing research of Dr Edward Jenner. We will be learning all about his amazing discovery and the impact that this has had on our lives. Also in science, we will be learning about light and electricity; conducting many experiments and investigations along the way.
When we are not busy exploring new places and travelling back in time, we shall be showing off our writing skills and challenging ourselves with complex mathematical reasoning. There will also be plenty of P.E to keep ourselves fit and healthy, as well opportunities for art, design, music and much more. Whatever the term may bring, it certainly won’t be short of excitement.
