This half term our topic is ‘Kings and Queens: Arthur and the Sword in the Stone’.

History is our main focus this term and we will be exploring Kings, Queens and castles. We will discuss medieval   society, who lived there and why castles were built in this period. The children will also explore a famous King from the medieval period: Richard III. We will learn about his life and significance in History.

In Literacy we will learn about ‘The Sword in the Stone’, before writing our own quest tale.

This term in Science we are going to be looking at ‘Light and Dark’.  We will learn to name light sources and why they are such, as well as how shadows are formed when a light source is blocked. The children will also learn the difference between transparent, translucent and opaque.
