🏺 In History, we’re traveling back in time to explore the intriguing lives of the Anglo-Saxons, the Scots, and the daring Vikings. Their stories are full of battles, bravery, and brilliant discoveries!
🪨 In Science, we’ll uncover the secrets of rocks—how they’re formed and why they matter—and shed light on the importance of, well, light! You’ll love these hands-on experiments and illuminating discoveries.
📜 In English, we’ll let our imaginations soar as we write thrilling historical stories, then learn how to convince others with persuasive writing. Guided Reading will take us on a magical journey through, The Firework Maker’s Daughter, by Philip Pullman—a tale bursting with adventure and wonder.
