Term 3 - The Tudors: Queens, Voyages and the New World

Our Learning 

In English this term, we will be learning about narrative retell with focus on setting and character description, non-chronological report about King Henry's wives, persuasive letter - Anne Boleyn asking Henry not to behead her as well as creating our own piece of writing after each topic. We will link our history learning about The Tudors, the first queen of England, Henry VIII and the protestant revolution with our creative writing.

Our reading text is ‘Treason’ by Berlie Doherty. We will be working on skills such as comprehension - PEE, inference, retrieval, summary, explain, vocabulary which is the use of dictionary to understand meaning and thesaurus to consider alternatives, role play, conscience alley, debates in character as well as prediction.  

This term in maths, our focus will be on fractions, decimals and percentages as well as multiplication and division. This will also include word problems - reasoning and problem-solving activities. 

The termly homework project is a chance for the children to showcase their learning in any form they like. The project title for this term is ‘The Tudors: Queens, Voyages and the New World’.  

The tasks on the sheet are suggestions that the children can use or they can come up with their own way of completing the project. They do not have to complete all of the tasks on the sheet, they only need to produce one piece of homework.

This can either be submitted on teams as a document, photo or video, or it can be handed in class to Miss Adewale.

The due date for this project is Friday 2nd February.

Feedback will be given through teams shortly after this date.
