Our exciting topic for this term has a historical focus. We will be learning about life in Tudor England. For example, we will be finding out about Tudor clothes and food and comparing them to what we have today, considering which we would prefer. We will notice how life could be very different for rich and poor people in Tudor times. This will link to our class text, The Prince, The Cook and the Cunning King, which is based on historical events and rumours around the reign of King Henry VII.
In Science, we will continue the culinary theme of our class text and explore the topic of Food and Health, working towards this WJEC unit. We will explore why we need food and what might happen if we do not make good choices about what we eat. We will learn about different dietary requirements people might have and how to cater for them, choosing and trying out appropriate recipes.
In Maths, we will be learning about time – navigating the calendar more confidently and making calculations involving time. This will help us learn some important life skills for organising our schedules in the future – keeping busy, remembering key dates, and making sure we are on time.
It feels like Summer already in Windsor class, with a holiday vibe from all our preparations for Multicultural Week. The class are working incredibly hard as always and we are very excited about the term ahead.
