It's part of the "Saxon Tales" series and tells the story of a young girl in Saxon Britain who is caught in a plot to take the king's throne, with a pivotal character being a lord who loses his head. In addition to this we will also write our own reports on Sutton Hoo and read a biography on Alfred the Great. We will enjoy finding out why he was so great!

Geography
With Mr Kenyon we will be learning about rocks and volcanoes. Children will develop a range of important geographical skills. They will learn how to use maps, atlases, and globes to locate famous volcanoes around the world, enhancing their understanding of physical geography. They will also begin to describe and compare different types of landscapes and landforms, such as mountains, craters, and volcanic islands. Through observation and enquiry, children will explore how volcanoes are formed and how they affect the environment and human activity. They will practise using geographical vocabulary to explain features of the Earth's surface and begin to interpret simple diagrams and cross-sections to understand geological processes. These skills help build their curiosity about the world and lay a strong foundation for future geographical learning.
