History will form the basis for our Viking Raiders and Settlers topic this term.  We will look at who the Vikings were and where they came from, while reinforcing our knowledge of timelines and key dates. We will discuss the relationship between the Viking invaders and the Anglo-Saxon settlers and will consider the impact of this time on our lives today. Throughout the topic, we will study the Viking way of life, considering their settlements, food, markets, weaponry and invasions. We will explore what life was like for children during this period of history and will present our findings to an audience.History will form the basis for our Viking Raiders and Settlers topic this term.  We will look at who the Vikings were and where they came from, while reinforcing our knowledge of timelines and key dates.

The topic will begin with our exciting trip to The Oxfordshire Museum on Thursday 9th June!

We will also have a musical focus this term. We will be learning to play the glockenspiel using musical notation, creating music in a digital environment during our computing sessions and we will be creating our own musical instruments as we focus on the topic of Sound during our science lessons.

There will be plenty of fun and excitiement (and hopefully some sunshine!) during our final term of the year, so please keep an eye out for important dates and events.
