Years 5 & 6

This half term, our class will be travelling back in time to explore the exciting world of the Ancient Greeks. The children have already shown fantastic enthusiasm for the topic and are thoroughly enjoying learning about the many Greek gods and goddesses. They have been particularly enthralled by Greek myths, eagerly discussing the stories and characters and sharing their own ideas and questions.

Alongside our history learning, we will be reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, which links perfectly to our topic. The children will take part in a range of reading and writing activities inspired by the book, including descriptive writing, character work and creative responses to the myths explored in the story.

In science, we will be learning about electricity and advanced circuits, investigating how electrical components work together. The children will then apply this knowledge in design and technology, where they will design and make a steady hand game, using their understanding of circuits to create a working electrical end- product.

We are really looking forward to an engaging and creative half term, filled with lots of fun and exciting learning opportunities!
