Is there such a thing as a 'just' invasion?

Welcome back to School and to Pine Class, we hope you all had a lovely summer. A big welcome to our new Pine Class members, we look forward to getting to know you and having some great fun learning new things. 

During our Discover term this autumn we will be exploring the question; 'Is there such a thing as a 'just' invasion?' This will involve us looking at over 1,000 years of British history, from the first Roman invasion attempts, through the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings and up to the Battle of Hastings. We are really excited to get our teeth into this exciting project and can't wait to hear what the children have to say in our P4C (Philosophy for children) discussions. 

We will also be exploring the themes of our project, invasion and ownership, through our English work and in our art lessons.

Below you will find a 'Knowledge Organiser', which gives you an idea of all of the important information and historical skills your child will be learning about during our Discover term. 

So let's get learning!

Our Diverse Planet

During the spring term we have been learning about how diverse our planet is. The children have worked hard during lockdown to learn about biomes and the plants and animals that live there. Thank you to all parents and children for all of your hard work on your remote learning during the school closures. 

Now we are back at school we will be focussing on locating and naming Continents, Countries and thinking about the people who live in them. We will be learning about different cultures and religions and where they worship. In art children will develop their understanding of colour by mixing paint and practising different brushstrokes. They will then apply these skills to create a piece of art work showing a building of worship.
