Curriculum
This term our topic is 'Intriguing Inventors'. We will be studying the work of Leonardo Da Vinci. In history, we will discover the time period Da Vinci lived and more about his inspiring inventions. We will be comparing his work with that of modern inventors and how their work has changed life today. Children will become inventors themselves in Design and Technology, using skills to create their own working models. Da Vinci was an accomplished artist, so children will look at his work and then create their own compositions using 3D effects. In PSHCE, children will be gaining an understanding of take care of their mental health.
English
In English, we will be looking at famous people and writing biographies.
