We have been doing some fantastic work lately. Take a look at what we have been up to and explore our website!

Our topic this term is called:

'The Kingdom of Benin'

During this topic, we will be learning about the history of the Kingdom of Benin and how it links with British history. We will learn about these sculptures, called 'Benin Bronzes' and create some of our own with a claywork Art project.

For the Geography aspect, we will learn all about the slave trade triangle and how Britain was involved in this terrible period of time.

Our English texts this term are:

Arthur and the Golden Rope by Joe Todd-Stanton - We will be writing our own myths based on Arthur's adventures, creating our own characters and settings using various figurative language devices.

Jinnie Ghost by Berlie Doherty - We will write our own poem in the style of Berlie Doherty, using a range of poetry devices.

The Darkest Dark by Astronaut Chris Hadfield - We will write a formal biography about the author and astronaut, Chris Hadfield, before creating our own biography based on somebody different.
