Summer Term

Invaders

This term our topic is Invaders. In history, we will focus on Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions of Britain. A science topic on light will consider light sources, directional arrows, investigating shadows and observing angles of incidence – so lots of practical work. Our second topic ‘Classification’ will look at the ways that all living things can be classified, as well as more detailed studies of specific groups, such as micro-organisms. The poetry book ‘Lost Words’ will be an inspiring link to nature.

Our class novel this term is Twitch by M G Leonard. This is the exciting tale of Twitch, a passionate birdwatcher and the hunt for a dangerous escaped prisoner!
