Spring 1: Dynasties

DYNASTIES

 

This term we are going to travel back in time to explore the earliest civilisations.

We are going to learn about when and where different ancient civilisations began, finding out about similarities and differences between them as well as what influences they left behind.

We will look at elements of their culture including their writing, number systems, architecture and inventions.

 

 

We will focus on the Shang Dynasty for a research project, and will link this to our DT project, where we will be learning about Chinese food. We will look at traditional Chinese ingredients, tasting and evaluating the flavours and nutritious values of these foods before designing and cooking our own healthy Chinese menu to enter into the schools Cookathon! 

 

 

In science, we will be developing our investigative skills, as we make predictions, set up experiments, record our finding and make conclusions about what we have found out. 

 

In English, we are going to be focusing our writing around the following texts as we learn to write an adventure narrative and a playscript, which we will then perform!

 

     

 

Watch this space for some examples of our amazing work!

 

We have been learning about length and perimeter. We made our own crazy shapes, measured the length of the sides and used our resources to help add them together.
