Welcome to a brand-new term in Awdry Class! We hope you are all ready to explore with us...

This term, the children will embark on an exciting exploration of a wide range of topics, expanding their knowledge and deepening their understanding. In History, we’ll dive into the complex events of the Cold War and examine how the history of Human Rights has evolved in Britain. In Geography, we’ll journey through the diverse continent of Africa, followed by an exploration of globalisation and its impact on the world today. Our Art lessons will introduce us to the vibrant movements of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, along with the ground-breaking work of modernist artists like Picasso. In Science, we’ll deepen our understanding of reproduction and evolution. In Religious Education, we’ll explore the teachings of the Qur'an, investigating what it reveals about Allah and his guidance, and also explore how people express their faith through the arts.

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

Don’t forget to download the homework menu, which outlines the range of homework tasks available for the summer term, in addition to regular reading.

We’re excited for a term filled with discovery, creativity, and growth!
