Our final topic for this year is named: 

Hero or Villain?

Just like with our Space topic, we are going to run this topic across all of Key Stage 2.  As we do not know what will happen with schooling in the coming weeks and months yet, we have designed this topic to run all of the way through the Summer holiday.

We are going to cover 8 Units, each with a different curricular focus.  Some units will be history heavy, some literacy and some sport or music!

Our units are:

• Stealing (our hearts!)
• Conquer and Divide
• World-Changers!
• Everyday Heroes
• Un-popular music
• History Hero ZERO!
• Champ to Cheat
• Be the Hero of Your Own Story…

The work that you add to the blog and the work that pupils who are in school contribute will be added to displays and boards all around school, ready for you to see in September.

Let’s get started with Unit 1:  Stealing (our hearts!)  We investigate 2 stories where the hero of the story is a thief!  Someone who should be a bad guy!  We are going to build up towards being able to control viewpoint in our writing, with plenty of reading comprehension, art and practical tasks along the way!

You can choose, on Thursday, which text you wish to work on.  “The Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes will be covered on the Year 5&6 blogs whilst Robin Hood will be the focus of the Year 3&4 blogs.  YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THE TEXT ON YOUR BLOG, you can choose to do the work on either but bear in mind the Highwayman is a more difficult text.
