In R.E. the children will be exploring the faith of Hinduism, Judaism and Islam and focussing on how these three fascinating faiths worship their gods and understanding about the viewpoints on the world.
In Art, we will be exploring Kimmy Cantrell and the method of cubism and looking at what inspired some of the fascinating art that he has produced.
In History, we will be looking at the events that led up to the beginning of World War 2, Britain's involvement in the war and how the war changed the world. As a class, we are all very excited for our school trip: a visit to Eden Camp which will allow us to immerse ourselves in everything from the smells and sights of World War 2.
