AUTUMN 2 TOPIC - Invaders & Settlers!

AUTUMN 2 - Can you believe it?! We are onto our next topic already - Invaders and Settlers!  We will begin by finding out about the Anglo Saxons or should I say the Smashing Saxons? We will be finding out about Saxon raids and how they came to settle in England. Using historical enquiry, we will be exploring the Saxon way of life, in particular their clothes, jobs and religious beliefs. Did you know that 'Saxon' was a name the Welsh, Scots and the Irish called all the strangers who moved into England when the Romans left? We will also be reading the legend of Beowulf and writing our own sagas based on our own heroic warriors.

We will then be finding out all about the Vicious Vikings! The Vikings were fearsome, seafaring warriors with huge boats, large shields and enormous ginger beards. This much you probably know. But do you know why why the Vikings had names like Fat-thighs and oaf? Maybe you could find out?! Over the half term we will be finding out about how they came to settle in England as well as their religion and way of life. As as part of our English lessons, we will be focusing on non-chronological reports and writing our own Viking sagas It's going to be a busy one!

Autumn 1 Topic - Snap, Crackle & ROAAAR!

Have you ever collected coupons from a cereal box? Maybe you were saving them for a book or toy? Well, when Dan and his brother decide to collect 100 coupons so that they can have their very own lion, they assume the task will be easy enough. How wrong can you be?! We will be reading There's a Lion in My Cornflakes, looking at advertising, writing persuasive letters and designing our own cereal!
