Autumn term.
This term we will be reading and writing about The Vikings. We will learn about what it was like to be a Viking, where they came from and the places they invaded and raided. We will learn about their everyday life once they'd settled here. The topic will include writing in role as Vikings, completing storyboards, retelling stories in our own words, newspaper articles and debates.

Our Science Topics this term are electricity and states of matter. We will construct an electrical circuit, identifying it's parts and investigate conductors and insulators. We will study the different states of matter, solids, liquids and gases. We will be investigating and observing how materials change when heated or cooled.
