Our summer term topic is all about...

London

This term, our work will focus on both History & Geography and will be linked to our residential visit to London. We will be learning about the location of our capital city and why London became so important there. We will find out about the history of some of its famous landmarks, such as the Tower of London. We will learn about the history of the Tower's 'Beefeaters' and the 'Tube' Underground system. Year 6 will have the opportunity to apply their maths skills to plan and cost a trip to London for a family and use their art skills whilst studying the architecture of some of the iconic buildings on the London skyline.

Here are some more of our planned units of work:

Design & Technology: Textiles. Combining different fabric shapes to make a 3D textile product

Computing: 3D modelling and sesning movement

Science: Animals, including humans

Art & design:Architect study, printing images of London landmarks

PE: Athletics, rounders, orienteering & swimming
