SUMMER TERM

This term, we have two new topics for geography and history:

Geography: Planet Earth

Can you describe Europe and North and South America?

During our first half term we will be studying planet Earth. We will recap on the seven continents, what they are called and where they are in relation to each other. We will also be learning about the five oceans and how to locate them on a world map. We will then focus on some of the continents, beginning with the continent that we live in - Europe! We will learn about countries, capital cities, famous landmarks, landscapes, the climate, and native animals in each continent.

History: Local History

Was Robin Hood a hero or a villain?

After half term we will be studying Robin Hood. We will start by locating Nottingham and Sherwood Forest which was the legendary home and hideout of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. We will be reading the story of Robin Hood and learning about what life was like in medieval England during this time. We will also be thinking about why we remember Robin Hood and how his actions inspire us today!
