Welcome to an exciting new term in Awdry Class! We’re thrilled to have your child with us as we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery.

This term, our students will dive into a wide array of fascinating topics, expanding their knowledge across various subjects. In History, we’ll study the rise of Adolf Hitler, the onset of World War II, and the events of the Holocaust. In Geography, we’ll explore the continents of North and South America. Our Art lessons will transport us to the Victorian era, where we’ll study Victorian art, architecture, and the works of William Morris. In Science, we’ll deepen our understanding of electricity and light. Meanwhile, in Religious Education, we’ll explore the question of whether Jesus was the Messiah and reflect on how he might respond to different situations.

For a more detailed overview of the exciting topics your child will be learning about this term, please take a moment to browse our curriculum guide.

Don’t forget to download the spring term homework menu, which outlines the various homework tasks your child can choose from, in addition to regular reading practice.

We look forward to an enriching and enjoyable term ahead!
