Welcome to Purja Class

Known as the King of hardcore climbing, Purja first began climbing at altitude in 2012, at the age of 29, and four years later reached the summit of Everest as an anonymous client while on leave from the U.K. Special Forces. Then, in 2019, having previously climbed only four of the Death Zone peaks, he summited all 14 in just six months and six days. He called it Project Possible, because people who know about such things told him it couldn’t be done. We love the idea of any project being possible here in Year 3/4.

What will we be learning this year?

 

Autumn Term - Lightning Speed, Saxon King, Law and Order

We start our year with our communication driver. In Lightning Speed, we learn about the history of the wold wide web.

Next we move on to Saxon King: the story of Harold Godwinson.

Finally, we look at the conflict driver in our Law and Order theme, where we explore rules and rights. 

Spring Term - May the Force Be With You, Cry Freedom, Viking Warrior 

The first focus of the Spring term is May the Force Be With You, a science project on magnets and forces.  

Our culture theme is Cry Freedom, which looks at slavery throughout history.  

Viking Warrior is the story of the Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking sea lord.   

Summer Term - Picture Our Planet, Window on the World 

Picture Our Planet is a conservation theme. Learning is centred around three contrasting localities:- Brazil, Scotland and Fiji.  

Window on the World  also has a geography focus , looking at settlements and land use, before moving on to learning about trade links. 

We can't wait to share our learning with you! Keep an eye on ClassDojo for updates. 

PE
Our PE days are Monday and Thursday. 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.
