Welcome to Dosbarth Aur

Long Ago and Far Away

We shall be discovering key events in the Tudor and Stuart period of history. Themes such as causes of conflict and exploration as well as events like the Great Fire of London and The Great Plague. Art from that time period will be explored too.

In Science, we will be exploring the human circulation system. Dance will include own compositions, including for St. David's Day. Pupils will be creating their own audiobooks and podcasts this term.

There will be activities linked specifically to Year 6, in terms of transition so keep your eyes and ears peeled.

Have a great Spring Term everyone!

Please remember to bring your reading book into school by Wednesday with a signed comment in the yellow reading record. As your child moves further along the reading scheme, books take longer to read. So even if your child hasn’t finished the book, please write a comment so we know they are reading regularly at home.

Other activities to support learning are on: Hwb, Active Learn, Prodigy and Oxford Owl. Children have their own personal login details.

Introduction to Tudors and Stuarts

We began the topic with a mystery board. Pupils choose a ? to remove which led to an activity or music clue based on our topic. Activities were:

• Who am I? based on William Shakespeare
• Whodunnit problems to solve about Sir Francis Drake and the Great Fire of London
• Listening to music from that period
• making connections between objects of that time 

Afterwards, pupils were created a mind map/information poster based on what they had learned.
