Our topic in Autumn 1 is

Who lived in a village like this?

We will start this term with a history topic called ‘Who lived in a village like this?’ We will be exploring local histories from the Victorian to the inter-war period. We will explore census records and make inferences about people from the past. This will enable us to create questions linked to Victorian working conditions as well as using a range of primary and secondary sources to help develop our understanding.

In science, ‘mixtures and separation’, we will be exploring different types of mixtures and looking at different ways of separation. We will also explore whether temperature as an impact on the rate a substance dissolves.

In D&T we will be investigating gears and pulleys, we will be making and designing gear and pulley systems and exploring their uses.

In art, we will be developing our painting skills by creating interesting portrait drawings using words, experimenting with materials and techniques, and constructing self-portraits that represent aspects of themselves.
