Term 3
French
Why do French people value liberty, equality and fraternity?
During our French learning this term, we have explored the key concepts of curiosity and culture; we have been fortunate to consider some key events in France's history.
We have understood who Joan of Arc was - and why she is considered a heroine; we have explored some of the contributing factors that resulted in the French Revolution and we also explored the importance of art in French Culture - paying a keen interest in the works of Claude Monet.

History
Did the events at the end of ‘The Great War’ cause World War Two?
Building upon our learning on The Great War, we have examined the treaty of Versailles and the impact this had on the people of Germany. Our learning will focus on the global events of The Second World War – such as the horrors The Holocaust – as well as Lincolnshire (or bomber county)’s role in the war. We will be plotting where the bombs fell in Boston and using stories to learn about life in Boston in the 1940s.

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)
Which is more important: mental or physical health?
Change, grief and loss: this term we are examining and delving into some painful emotions and how we can self-regulate when we feel anxious or upset. These lessons are an important self-reflection on how each of us must nurture our mental health – however old we become – and it will give us each a tool kit on how to deal with uncomfortable thoughts and challenging emotions.

Henry Moore – well known for his sculptures – was asked to document the events of the Blitz in London while people to shelter in the underground stations during air raids. His drawings were mainly made through using wax-resist and water colour – we shall be evaluating his work before moving on to creating works of our own…
