In the Spring Term we will be learning about the Vikings.
This half term, we will travel back in time to study the Vikings. We will focus on history and Geography by learning about where the Vikings came from and why they came here. We will learn about Scandinavia as an area and how its physical features shaped the lives of the people who lived there, causing them to settle in other countries. We will also explore how they lived and the cultural, social and religious ideas that controlled their daily lives.
Pupils will be taught about: their religious practices, hierarchy, buildings, settlements, fashion and daily life. We will complete our study by considering how they have influenced us and who took control of England after them.
In Art, we will learn about Viking artwork and use this to create a variety of items including shields.
During Science this term, we will be investigating a variety of materials and learn abouttheir properties. We will test different products and evaluate one in detail to assess whether it is an effective use of materials. We will use our findings to give recommendations and feedback to users.
ICT this term we will learn programming and coding skills to create interactive games and animations.
