Our Curriculum

Welcome back!

We have many exciting things to look forward to this term including: a trip to the Science Museum, Silverstone and a Shang Dynasty workshop. 

 Our first history project, Shang Dynasties, teaches children about the history of the Shang, focusing primarily on where and when they happened, the lasting legacy (some of which can still be seen in the world today) and daily life.  

We are also very busy this term preparing for Young Voices 2027!
