Please see the termly curriculum overviews below to see what learning we will be up to each term.

How can you help?

We hope that you can support your child with the learning that they are doing here in school by asking your child to talk about what they have learnt. If your child would like to do further learning this term, here are some suggestions that they may like to explore:

Autumn Term:

War - What is it good for?

• Imagine you are an evacuee - write a postcard or letter home explaining what has happened to you. 
• Write a newspaper report of the bombing in your area.
• Write instructions or advice during an air raid. 
• Write a diary entry as though you are child in WW2 or any war.
• Create a timeline of events that led up to and happened during WW2. 
• Create  fact file about what school life was like for children during WW2.

Spring Term:

Changemakers - How can we raise awareness of a global issue?

• Design and create your own anti-climate change poster.
• Write a persuasive letter to our local MP to convince them to help our local environment e.g. putting more bins along the canal, displaying signs to encourage no littering

Summer Term
