Welcome to our new term Foxes.  This term, children will study Victorian childhood in history and explore South America in geography.  As artists, children will be developing their 3D skills through the creation of abstract sculptures and working with electronics to design and build a digital charm in DT.  In science, we will be learning all about some significant inventors and scientists in the first half of term and living things and their habitats in the second half.  In RE we will be exploring holy journeys, specifically the Hindu pilgrimage to the River Ganges.
