Badgers
Welcome to Badger Class!
Badger class is taught by Miss O'Kane. Mrs Feddon is a HLTA in Badger Class.
Autumn Term 2019
Topic
This term our topic is the Vikings. We will be learning how people from other societies have been coming to Britain for a long time. We will explore bow Viking influences spread through different parts of the world and how, over a period of years, the Vikings eventually came to settle in Britain. Through this unit we will develop our understanding of chronology, describe and identify the reasons for- and results of- historical events and consider the different ways the past can be interpreted. A knowledge organiser with key information and vocabulary will be shared to support learning at home. This topic is always hugely exciting and motivating and there are a number of excellent high quality texts that can support it. Any body wishing to be signposted towards additional reading, should inquire at school for advice.
Science
Our topic in science for this term is Light and Electricity. We will be exploring shadows and the movement of the sun through the sky. We will extend our understanding of how light travels and is reflected using practical experimentation and investigation. We will build on prior circuitry knowledge by exploring the role of switches using 'if' statements.
Art
In art we will explore how signs, symbols and metaphors can be used to communicate ideas and meanings about a journey.
