We will continue to work hard to get the best improvement out of the children and to make the year as enjoyable as we can. As parents/guardians it would be of great benefit to aid us in this by getting the children to read for 20 minutes each evening and to sign their diaries to say they have done so. We expect the pupils to write into their diaries what book they have read along with what pages and parents/guardians to just initial.
Topics
Off With Her Head
This year we will be studying a range of different topics. In this term we will be working through Off With Her Head!
What sort of man would order the beheading of his wife? Was she really that bad?
Travel back in time to the 1500s and meet the terrifying Tudors, a domineering dynasty that changed our history.
Discover an opulent court where dancing and singing goes hand in hand with swift falls from favour – and even swifter falling of heads!
Develop your painting skills in miniature, solve riddles and remember to protect your precious neck with a large white ruff – if you want to survive at Tudor court!
Flex your detective muscles and become a criminal investigator! Will you find out the facts, or will the evidence from the past bemuse you? How will you find the accused….. innocent or guilty?
It’s your turn to take part in one of the most famous trials the world has ever known!
