Pharaohs

Our first topic this year is called Pharaohs. Within this topic, we learn how to use historical sources to give us information: including art work and hieroglyphics. Understand that some historical sources can give bias – giving incorrect information. Discover the characteristics and importance of the Pharaohs and what happened when a Pharaoh died; how and why bodies were mummified. We will then end of topic researching the importance of the Egyptian Gods and why they were worshipped.

Off with her head!

After Christmas, children will be travelling back in time to the 1500s to explore the terrifying and terrific Tudors, a domineering dynasty that changed our history. Children will have the opportunity to use a range of historical sources to learn about Henry VIII. Children will create their own biographies, using information they have researched and collected, on the infamous characters of Henry VIII, his wives and children.
