Autumn 1 - Divide & Conquer!
Welcome back to school for the first half of our Autumn term in Upper Key Stage 2 (UKS2)! We have loved welcoming all children and families after the summer break – it has been wonderful to see everyone, and the school is buzzing with energy again. We are ready and excited to dive into school life and our learning.
Our theme for this half term is ‘Divide & Conquer!’ As historians, we will learn about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, and how they lived, fought, and tried to rule kingdoms. As geographers, we will explore Scandinavia and other parts of Europe, using maps and globes to learn about the land, the people, and how different countries compare.
We are excited to be reading our new class novel, ‘Viking Boy’ by Tony Bradman. This exciting story follows Gunnar as he goes on adventures with Vikings, meets magical figures, and learns about Viking history and legends.
In Design Technology, we will be young chefs! Inspired by our Viking theme, we will design and bake breads to go with a Viking-style stew, trying different seasonal ingredients and flavours. We can’t wait to smell and taste our creations.
In Art and Design, we will explore Anglo-Saxon and Viking crafts. Children will design and make brooches, buckles, and amulets, starting with sketches and then creating them in clay.
Our “50 Things” challenges for this half term are:
It promises to be a fantastic start to the year!
