Autumn Term 2019
Topic
This term our topic is The Tudors and we are already really enjoying learning about this fascinating period in history. We will be learning all about the Tudor monarchs, Tudor houses and what life was like for everyday people in Tudor times. This unit feeds into our Literacy and we will be creating newspaper articles, non-chronological reports and biographies of some key characters from Tudor times. As part of our learning, we will be visiting Bowes Museum to for a Tudor immersion day where we will make a Tussie Mussie, learn a Tudor dance, help a maid prepare for a banquet as well as create some Tudor art.
Science
In our science lessons we will be ''Humans and other animals". We will be investigating skeletons and the key bodily systems of animals. We will be comparing the similarities and differences between humans and other animals.
Art
This term our topic is Portraits. We will be looking at the individual features of our face before combining them to create self portraits and then portraits of some of our Tudor monarchs from our topic. We will be using a variety of different mediums to create our art including watercolour paint, chalk and charcoal and various pencil techniques.
