Project - The Tudors

This term, in our project we will be learning about the Tudors and their impact on Britain today. The children will work as historians, anaylsing a variety of sources to gather evidence on Henry VIII reign and how life was for people during the Tudor times. In science, we are focusing on Properties and Changes of Materials. The children will conduct experiements and investigations into how changes in materials can sometimes be reversed.  They will also find out why materials are chosen to make things based on their properties. In Art, the children will be learning all about Hans Holbein (an artist during Tudor times) before creating their own artwork inspired by his own.

Here are some of the articles we will be covering in our lessons:

RRS Article 17:Every child has he right to reliable information from the mass media, television, radio, newspaper and other media should provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.  

RRS Article 27:Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this. 

PSHE - Dreams and Goals and Healthy Me -

Our JIGSAW Puzzle piece for PSHE this half term is ‘Dreams and Goals’.  We will learn about personal learning goals (both inside and outside of school) understanding the role our emotions play in achieving them. We will set criteria and consider the role that motivation plays in achieving our goals and how through these we can make a difference in the world.. We will also learn about celebrating success and recognising our achievements.

After half term our Puzzle piece is ‘Healthy Me’.  In this piece we will look at taking personal responsibility for our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. We will learn how to manage stress, how substances affect the body and exploitation (including ‘county lines’ and gang culture).
