Year 5
In Year 5 this term we will be learning about The Terrible Tudors. We will be finding out about Henry VIII and his wives and their importance in British history. We will look at various aspects of the Tudor period including the explorers of the time and the defeat of The Spanish Armada. We will also be learning about everyday Tudor life and the differences between rich and poor people this will culminate in a trip to Donnington-Le Heath Manor House where the children will role-play various aspects of Tudor Manor life.
As always at St. Peters we endeavour to make our curriculum fun and creative so we will be linking aspects of both our literacy and maths to our Tudor topic. This will include designing and growing our own Tudor knot gardens accurately recreating York Minsters Rose window using protractors to measure angles and studying the works of William Shakespeare (simplified versions!). We hope to have a fabulous term and look forward to lots of fun and creative learning.
