This Week's Learning

Term 3 Week 1

This week, Beech Class will begin a new unit of study based around a significant moment in British history- The Great Fire of London. This unit of study will take a History/English/Science focus. We will use skills of historical enquiry to place the Year 1666 into chronological context and will learn about 17th Century London. We will examine the chroniclers of the age by examining and analysing primary  sources of evidence. We will use our writing skills to produce pieces of descriptive writing, first person recounts and pieces of narrative charting this significant historical event. We will learn about the properties of different materials, their suitability for different purposes and the effect that extreme heat can have on them. In addition to our main learning foci, we will also continue to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through the provision of Religious Education, Sport, Exercise and Heath, Science and Computing, Design and The Arts and Mathematics.
