What Changed in Britain After the Anglo–Saxon Invasion?

In Term Three we are venturing back to Ancient Greece.  We will be learning about different aspects of Ancient Greek life: religion, democracy, goverment, philosophy and what this all means for the lasting legacy of the Ancient Greek Civilisation. 

In English, we will be reading Leo & the Gorgon’s Curse by Joe Todd Stanton.  We will be using the literary skills we developed through terms 1 and 2 to dive deeper into this monstrous retelling by telling our own stories, learning and applying new techniques to entice our readers and writing our own exciting narratives. 

In Term One, we are studying electricity (don’t worry, we’ll be careful!).  We’re going to be investigating what uses electricity, the point of conductors and insulators (and what they are).  We will also have a go at building our own circuits.
