What's Happening at Lodge
Year One: Under the Sea
In Year 1 our topic is 'Under the Sea'. We will mainly focus on pirates but we will also be looking at creatures who live under the sea. During this topic we will use joining techniques to make bandanas which we will wear for our pirate day. During talk for writing we will learn how to dress like a pirate.
Year Two: Fire and Ice
In Year 1 we are learning about fire and ice. We will be learning about the Great Fire of London and finding out why the fire spread quickly. We will be comparing fire fighting in the past to the modern day and meeting real fire fighters and even look at a fire engine.
We will then be learning about ice and life in the arctic. We will be locating this on a map and learning about the animals that live there.
Year Three: Ancient Egyptians
This term, we will be studying the very exciting Ancient Egyptians, we will be looking into the daily life of people who lived over 4000 years ago! The children will also be visited by a special guest to will go into even more details on the fascinating life of Ancient Egyptians.
Year Four:
This term Year Four will be finding out about how the Romans influenced life today and how they introduced new systems at the time. They will have the opportunity to discover how volcanoes are formed, and will be discovering more about Pompeii. This amazing topic will be filled with many interesting facts about the Roman Army too. In addition, year 4 will be lucky enough to create their own moving story book.
Year Five: The Vikings
The Vikings have invaded and have been let loose at Lodge! In English they will embark on a Dragon Initiation Programme and fully realise what life was like during this period (How To Train Your Dragon). The Viking tribes ( Griffin the Great and Goodsir the Grim) will battle it out to see who will sail across the tides of the Northern Sea in their Long Boats ( made in D.T).
Let the battle commence. Which Viking Tribe will be triumphant!
