Welcome to Bird Class

Born in Yorkshire, Isabella Bird was an explorer, writer, photographer and naturalist. She explored countries all over the world including Australia, Hawaii, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, India and Iran. She climbed mountains, trekked through jungles, and rode for thousands of miles on horseback. She even rode on elephants! In 1892, she became the first woman to be elected as a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, what an achievement!

What will we be learning this year?

 

Autumn Term - A World of Bright Ideas, In Your Element, Wars of the World

We start the year with a communication project, A World of Bright Ideas, that looks at inventions and developments.

In Your Element focuses on Earth, Air, Fire and Water through a geography lens.

Lastly, we move on to the conflict driver with Wars of the World, taking a look at wars past and present.

 

Spring Term - True Crime, I Have a Dream..., British Bulldog 

The first project of the Spring term is True Crime, an exploration of the Pendle witch trials. 

Our culture theme is I Have a Dream... which looks at discrimination and prejudice. 

British Bulldog is the story of Winston Churchill which will allow us to retrieve some knowledge from our Autumn term wars topic. 

 

Summer Term - Global Warning, Time Team 

The first project of the Summer term has a conservation theme. Global Warning looks at waste and pollution.  

Time Team has a history and geography focus and is based in our local area.  

The Year 5/6 topics are so engaging and we will make sure we share their learning journey with you regularly.

PE
Our PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays. Please come to school in your PE kit on those days. Remember outdoor trainers, to tape up earrings if you wear them and a bobble for long hair. We do PE in most weather (don't worry, we do stop when it gets too rainy, but not if it's cold) so please dress accordingly. Please note, our outdoor session has changed to Thursday afternoon.
