Our Autumn 2 Topic: The Day of the Dead
We kick-started this topic with a visit from an actual Maya Archaeologist - Dr Diane - she brought in a range of historical artefacts from the time and engaged the children with a talk all about being an archaeologist and the fascinating history of the Maya period. During the term we learnt all about the Day of the Dead (Dia de Los Muertos) through our English lessons, the deadly game Pok-o-Tok and about the geography of Mexico.
Our Spring 1 Topic: Ice, ice baby
This half-term we learnt all about the polar regions, their similarities and differences and what life if like in each region. We kicked off our topic with a visit from DanTastic Education who told us all about his adventures to the polar regions, he brought a range of artefacts and items in for the children to explore, including a real like seal skin and walrus tusk.
Our Spring 2 Topic: Survival of the fittest
This half-term we explored the life and work of Charles Darwin, his theory of evolution and how that impacts the world today.
