This page is dedicated to all the exciting things we will be doing in class this year.

Divorced, beheaded, died?

Our topic this term is themed around the question ‘Divorced, beheaded, Died?’ We will be exploring the rise and fall of the Tudors, finding out about how they came to power, the reign of Henry VIII and his wives, as well as Elizabeth I and the end of the Tudors. We will look at how the Tudors affected our lives today.

English and Maths

Our English lessons will be linked to our topic as usual. We will be creating a graphic novel of the Battle of Bosworth, writing a newspaper report on the beheading of Anne Boleyn and exploring the events in our class book. We will look at the works of Shakespeare and rehearse and perform a scene from a famous Shakespeare play.

In Maths, we will look at Properties of shape, focusing on angles and 3d shapes, before looking at Position and direction- focusing on coordinates, translation and reflection.
