This term, pupils will take part in an exciting and varied curriculum designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.

In English, they will bring stories to life by writing suspenseful warning tales and adventurous quest stories, as well as exploring non-fiction through discussion texts and diary entries.

Maths lessons will challenge pupils to deepen their understanding of numbers as they explore place value, algebra, the four operations, fractions, decimals and practical measures such as mass and time.

Our topic learning whisks pupils back to Ancient Rome, where they will discover what life was like for Romans, learn about powerful emperors, and explore incredible monuments like the Colosseum and the Pantheon, with creative links to Art and Latin.

In Geography, pupils will travel across Eastern Europe and Northern Ireland, while in Science they will get hands-on with investigations into electricity and sound.

Alongside this, pupils will enjoy developing their skills in Computing, DT, Music, PE, RE and PSHE, making this a fun, engaging and memorable term of learning.
